Fay Day

So Fay came & delivered.  She dumped at least six inches of rain on us.  On the day that they eye of the storm was upon Gainesville, it was a thursday and every thing was closed; schools, stores, etc.  We couldn't go anywhere because the Governor said "don't go anywhere".  It was so not fun to be housebound.  I am no longer afraid of tropical storms/hurricanes hitting us - I am afraid that I might go stir-crazy in my house.

Deacon and I were getting so claustrophobic that I let him go outside when the rain was light. Poor kid, all he wanted to do was play a little golf!!  Look at that swing!

On a side note, that "pond" on the other side of our fence is what is called a rain reserve.  Every subdivision here has one so that neighborhoods don't flood.  Before the storm, it was totally dry.  As of today it is still overflowing!  But, from what I hear the storms aren't over.  'Gustav' and 'Hannah' are on their way!
