Rainy Day Fun

We enjoyed a visit from tropical storm Bill today. It rained continuously until dinnertime. Add that to the week of rain we've already had, and we are drenched! Danielle and I thought the warm, wet weather might be good for spotting tree frogs, so we grabbed our umbrellas and headed to the park.

We had to run a couple errands first, and by the time we got to the park, the rain had just stopped. We did not find any tree frogs at all this time, but we did see green frogs, leopard frogs, a snake, a brilliant orange oriole, families of little baby barn swallows piled in their nests, and lots of crawfish. I have never seen any at this park, and they were everywhere today! I only took cell phone pictures today. This is one of my favorite places to go around here, and it's even more enjoyable when Danielle goes with me.

He wanted to fight.

There's no denying we're related, is there?

Our development has never flooded in the 8 years we've been here, but there was standing water in the streets. We saw this when we tried to get home from the park. It was worse on some of the side streets. I think it's supposed to rain again tomorrow and most of the week next week. Should be interesting to see where it's all going to go.
