We sure did get a load of rain the night before last.  From what I heard, it totaled over 3 inches worth.  I’m glad I thought to tie up some of my plants that would’ve flattened under a heavy downpour.  I didn’t tie up the crane’s bill and it was pretty well flattened by the time the sun came out today.  It’s a good thing that once it dries out it tends to rise again.

     I have some candleholders that stick in the ground.  I hadn’t put any candles in the cups and they were full of water when I went outside today.  The ground in the back garden was downright saturated by the runoff we get from the apartment building behind us.

     When I came down in the morning, the sky still threatened more rain.  However, some time around four the sun came out and drove the clouds away.

     Unfortunately, with all that heavy rain Goliath and two other frogs went walkabout and none of them have returned.  We are now down to one bullfrog.  Maybe that’s a good thing since those bullfrogs were starting go for any bird that happened to land close to them.
