Yep.  Just after I finished posting to the blog, the heaven’s opened up and poured.

And poured

Then poured some more.  Our driveway turned into a river.

The events yesterday seemed to match the weather,

• our mailbox was damaged (immature Jr. High damage…easily fixed, but still)
• one of our cell phones was pick up/stolen (we put a stop on the number)
• A load coming from a semi to our tuck damaged the tail gate (Terry said it can be fixed)
• our car developed a need to never go down the road again (sigh)
• It rained off and on all night

But as the soggy, miserable, cold day wore on

• we purchased a new mailbox, turned the damage into the Sheriff and the post office, and put the new mail box up.  🙂
• Late, late in the day our cell phone was turned into one of the store clerks where the phone was taken lost–today I will have it it re-instated.  Turning the ability to off to use it helped, I do believe.
• The tail gate damage is on the inside of the truck, not the outside.  It will be a repair, but not a obvious one
• The car has an appointment to get fixed on Friday—Alan says he can do the job without too much trouble.
• A beautiful basket of flowers were delivered to our house for Mother’s Day
• I have about 8 humming birds now and two pair of Bullock Orioles
• The Orange-banded Bumble Bees are out and about
• The sun is here this morning, the little birds started chirping and singing the sun up at first light—I sang with them!

There is joy all around!
