Record setting rains!

I had a little trouble getting home tonight....   A new stream had developed over Johnson Lane and the highway. I had to turn around, return to school, and take another route home. Even that new route wasn't pleasant but I made it! It has been raining for the last week and a half. Today we had a record setting amount of rain. Three and six hundredth inches in one day for this prairie is unheard of. Add that amount to what has been soaking the earth and we are way over normal for this time of year. The average rainfall in Eastern Montana is 1.92 inches for the month of May and we are now at 8.45. That's 6.53 above the norm. There's more rain predicted before the month is over!   It's so green it's beginning to look like Seattle and tonight's weather forecast is not promising any sun!
 Life isn't going to wait for us to get our acts together.   So get on living.   Enjoy what you have.   Love who you are with.   Hug and Kiss.   Laugh and chat.  Make ice cream and cookies. Be happy Well, this hit me like a ton of bricks! Thanks to nat*schofield for the wake up call! I HAD been doing a countdown to the end of school....10, 9, 8, 7, really it began about 25, 24, 23... Now, bring on the margaritas - oh, I mean ice cream and cookies!
