Almost 4" of rain, strong winds...wet everywhere! Just stopped about 7:30. Coolish. Saw no damages, that's best I can report. Did I mention it's wet?!? Boots for chores today.

Mom mentioned to me that she thought the sump pump was stuck on yesterday, but it wasn't. we'd just had a lot of rain the past few days so it was keeping up with the water draining from the footing drains.

glad to say i don't think we had any leaks in the roof even with the heavy rains and winds. that was the kind of storm we needed for me to at least start being more hopeful we'd got the leaks at the top mostly taken care of. it will be a few more years before i will call it good. but i will probably have to pay someone to do some maintenance up there this summer.

It is an icy 43’out. I built a fire and made coffee.

Zone 6B or 7 can't decide
We had a hard frost overnight. I waked out the back door this morning to sun rising over sparkling frozen beauty. I did not build a fire, but I most certainly did have coffee. On a day like today, It's coldest right before the sunrise. The sun felt good on my face, as I watched it rise, I ❤️☀️

Trying to find obscure hit or semi hit songs from the 60s-80s to send Mom to see if she had forgotten them. Sometimes she gets excited. She's always surprised that I know 95% if the ones she sends me. Im not allowed to send her stuff from the 40s anymore because she doesnt know most of them. 50s sometimes. She says the local radio didn't play the songs I know then.
