I promised myself after the drought we have had over the past two years that I wouldn't complain about rain. But the old adage 'When it rains, it pours' is happening here. It has been raining almost none stop for the past month and a half. There have been a few days with more than two inches of rain and then one day of over ten inches of rain. We have gone way past catching up our rain totals and now the ground is saturated, streams are swollen, the Ohio is rising, and the levees are bursting at the seams. The weather around here used to mild except for a few severe storms once in a while, but now it seems it is never just dry, but a drought, a gentle rain storm, but a gully washer that floods the area, a light dusting of snow, but several inches of ice bring the area to a stand still and destroying building, cars and trees. Mother nature is sending us a message, but I am afraid that we are not paying attention, or we are choosing not to hear what is being said!! We need to wake up, if it isn't already too late....

Ready For Spring.....
With February going out like a lion, winter trying to hold on.. I can truly say I am ready for spring to spring. This last winterly mix of weather has really worn me out. I love snow, but ice..ice(freezing rain and sleet that is) is an inconvenience that I can live without. Snow makes everything look new and clean, but ice makes it impossible to move around at all, and gives me instant cabin fever. I have gotten my ice and snow shots so I am more than ready to see the brightly coloured flowers and the beautiful green of spring... It can't come soon enough!!
