Oh yes, we have had 4 inches of rain - measured in the little rain gauge in our backyard. I-17 has been closed at New River due to the rain swollen usually bone dry river bed - Agua Fria River. Yay Team!
yes, you can blame it on us - our congregation was asked to fast and pray for much needed rain and in within days it began to rain - spotty at first but now in all earnestness.
As I drove around Prescott today, I could see the amount of water that was flowing into Watson Lake. the water level has been down for the past 4 years or more but now the ducks really have enough water to swim in and their feet will not touch bottom......
The News tonight shows that one area has had over 8 inched of rain. In Phoenix some people were in a park and the water came up so fast and stranded them on a small mound. They had to be rescued. Of course the usual number of Silly Drivers had to be rescued when they tried to cross flowing river beds. Ouch! that will cost them dearly.
My garden is dancing in the rain - the tomatoes have never been so bathed with heavenly blessings. I do not have to water them today.
We have a pack rat in our little shed - had one when we came home from Maine. Not a good scene for the rat - put out some food for him.
Bill went to work today - against doctors orders. He was supposed to be off work for one week but he decided that they (the pharmacy) needed him............and so it goes. I insisted that I still drive him because in the handout from the hospital he could finally see (had to be helped to see) the words "No driving for one week". When he came home he went to bed with the ice pack on the wound.
At quilt guild on Monday, one of the ladies came up to me and started talking to me about family history. Apparently she had been to the Family History Center, and the sister missionaries were there and they got to talking and she found out that I was on the staff there. So we had a wonderful long conversation about her adventures in the Citizens Cemetery - it is a historic site here in Prescott. Coming up is a big reception at $50 per person to dine with the dead. They set up a big tent in the cemetery and eat a catered meal etc. and it is a fund raiser for the cemetery upkeep. I have invited her to be present at the Church this week for the Family History Presentation - a lesson to help teach people how to organize their genealogical materials.
I am very glad that Life in a Blender site let me in. I hope to keep writing on this blog.
After all, life in Prescott really is like Life in a Blender.
