So far this month we've had 2.75 inches of rainfall. 1.43 of that fell yesterday morning before noon, a quarter inch fell the night before. Faith called to let me know that the fish pond was flooded (luckily no one tried to make a break for it).

In addition to the pond being about four inches higher than normal the heavy downpour has been washing away the hill I spent all summer stacking and shoveling. Remember those pictures of mud slides along the California coast a few years back? Something like that, just fewer chandeliers and Porsches.

The ice is gone.
