Trying to stay dry

I think we're all going a little bit crazy being stuck in the house for so long. Last night was the worst. The wind and rain really hit us and I was up half of the night. Not really worried, just couldn't sleep because it was so loud. It seemed like we were going to get a 5 minute break from the rain this morning so I headed out to take Addison for a walk. Right after I got her shoes on it starting pouring. Me, Addison and Caeley (from next door) braved the wind and rain for a few minutes and splashed in the puddles. It was fun until the rain started to hurt. The rest of the morning Addison and I hung out in our fort.

She has been such a trooper. Last night Michael brought dinner home and we had a picnic in the living room. I'm running out of ideas though. I'm ready for Fay to move on. We had a two hour break from the rain this afternoon so I was able to take some pictures. Our pond is the highest I've ever seen it, up probably 4 feet. The pond is usually below the neighbors palm trees and Michael normally has to mow around the Willow tree.


That's what's been going on. So far we've been lucky with the power. It went out this afternoon for about an hour, but that's it. There are about 82,000 people without power right now and I sure am glad I'm not one of them. We're keeping our fingers crossed.
