We've seen Fire and We've seen Rain

Luckily for us, it has been on the News.
There have been huge fires to the south and north of us, and now huge floods to the north and east of us.
We did get a huge downpour on Saturday night.

 It moved around some mulch, but refilled our little water tank.
So the clean up won't be difficult.
 Sunday morning we were able to go for a quick 'business' walk.  We had to stay on the roads and not get wet.
This morning, we went to the Sports Grounds, so we could run around.
You can see by the sky that we were in for more rain.

Bella and Roxy...it's about 6:30 a.m. and the street lights are still on.
 Bella and Roxy ran around like crazy dogs. They chased each other and loads of birds. The pictures were way too blurry to get them in action.

 As you can see, we had the whole place to ourselves.

We needed a good run.  Just as we got back into the car, it started sprinkling.  We had a whole day of gentle rain.....while we watched others frantically, trying to sandbag their houses, or being rescued on the News.  We wish them luck.

  1. Goodness...it just goes from one extreme to the other over there.

    The heat continues here but we had rain Saturday & last night too...mom cannot wait for winter, she says it's easier to get & stay warm than it is to get & stay cool. I think we agree with her.

  2. We're so sorry to hear that Mother Nature is being so distructive again. It's just not nice of her at all!

    It was nice to see that you were able to get in some running and funnin' at the park. Stay away from the windows when the boomers start rolling thru.

    Hugs,
    Lily Belle & Muffin

  24. It's 70 degrees here today and we're supposed to have thunder storms tomorrow. It looks like it might be a sit in the basement and watch tv kind of day.

    We're thinking your Mom might be a James Taylor fan. Ours is.
