It was a downpour. A gulley-washer. A toad strangler.
It rained cats and dogs.
Yup, it was wet all right. Clear up to my knees while I was crossing the street after a meeting at city hall. Shoes soaked. Pants drenched.
I had a new pair of house slippers in the trunk of the car. I broke those puppies out at the office after stripping off water-logged shoes and socks. Ah, so dry and comfy!
I've decided to leave that pair at the office for such bad-weather days (and will stash a pair of jeans in my desk as well, so I can be less miserable should this happen again!)
Always be prepared. Wish I had a cute pair of galoshes today!
When I got home, I lost power for about an hour. And I had to really dig in to unpacking all the soaked boxes on the screen porch. What a mess. Progress has been made, but that does not mean things have been put up. Just means they are out of the boxes on the porch and mostly stacked up inside the house. Oh woe is me! Will I ever, EVER be settled in this little house? Not by the looks of my garage, where I've tossed all the wet boxes.
All told I think we got 3.15 inches before the lines of storms moved on past us. Pretty good amount for a one-day October storm! I'm definitely throwing another quilt on the bed tonight, because the rain has really washed the warmth out of the air and my feet are still chilled from being so wet today.
So how's the weather out there where you are?

It looks so peacful right now. But as I drove the Princess and Deer Hunter to school this morning.
We saw several tree's down. A house belonging to a teacher from their school, had the corner of the porch torn off. By a large tree that had stood next to it.
According to someone else. He saw a commerical chicken house with several peices of tin torn off.
That is how it went here.

Funny, haven't heard the words "toad strangler" in awhile. My mother used to say it alot.
