Well, it rained pretty much all night. Fortunately, there was no lightening or thunder…just the steady rainfall. It was the kind that makes the soothing sound that eases you gently into sleep. Before it started storming, I took these pictures so that I would be able to compare the water levels afterward. This is a pond that is across the street from my house:
Water Level Before the Arrival of Fay

When I woke up this morning, the rain had stopped, but that’s only because we were in the eye of the storm. Here’s what it looked like:
In the Eye of the Storm
Is the Water Higher? In the Eye of the Storm
The Water Level Halfway through the Storm
The other side of the storm is headed our way, so the water levels will probably rise even more. The ground is saturated. When I walked across it, I sank as if I was walking on a sponge. Parts of my town were built on the bay, so you can only imagine how rain affects us.
I have been knitting more dishcloths, though. Rainy days are good for that. I’ll post photos of my newest creations on Monday, after the Olympics are over. I will say that my cotton stash is almost gone. Yippee! Stay tuned!
