It’s Tuesday afternoon and we are STILL having rain. We had friends visiting us this past week. Nancy and Carol worked with me and we haven’t seen them since last summer. They drove up from South Jersey Thursday and, while it rained, the skies cleared by dinner and we were able to eat outside. That was really nice! We had hoped to take them out on the boat Friday but rain stopped that. We did go to town to check out the antique shops… and managed to make several purchases. Then we went for pizza in Jessup. Saturday found us at the mall in Scranton checking out fabrics, books and clothes. Then on to eat at Cooper’s, a local seafood place. Back home for more talking…. And Nancy finished the quilt she was working on. They left Sunday morning - and it rained!
The rain has continued…we have had over 6 inches over the past several days. Our county is under a flood watch and there is flooding in the area. We, fortunately, are on high ground. I went out yesterday and took pictures of the stream at the edge of our property and the lake… Right now the noise of the stream is VERY loud and I can see it from the loft which you usually can’t due to the trees - but it’s over it’s bank and white from the speed of the water. They are calling for rain just about every day this week. Maybe July will be better.

This is from the road up to the stream
This is the other side of the road where the stream comes out to go into the lake
