Rain, Rain, and More Rain

Last year was the wettest on record in Cincinnati. This year, on January 26, we are already an inch over "normal." Yippee! The yard is a swamp. The weather alarm is going off, telling me that flooding is occurring or imminent. Duh. I can see more water than ground in my yard. At least it all outside still at this point. And the sump pump is churning away--yay!

Meanwhile, the CSA is selecting seeds, and I am thinking about it. Drought resistant? How about swamp tolerant? Whichever I choose, we will get the opposite! So glad I don't have to grow all my own food!

People keep saying "at least it's not snow." If it were snow, we'd be stuck at home. With a nice cup of cocoa and a book. Or a Jason Bourne marathon. And the lawn guy would be making money plowing driveways... Maybe next month!
