Rain, rain, go away!

It's been quite a week here in West Michigan. We have had lots of rain along with some pretty serious storms. 4 people were killed in our county last weekend, due to trees coming down and roads washing out in the rain. We had a couple of clear days during the week, but now its raining again! They have now closed a major highway north of us due to flooding and washouts. Of course, we aren't the only ones dealing with bad weather and compared to some people , our area isn't doing too badly.
Here's a few pictures of our front yard being rained on.
At least it's not snow!

    we really need some rain -- and we pray for the drought to come to an end. please, Lord...

  4. I do consider us very lucky in our area. I would not have liked to experience the washed out road. Driving along and all of a sudden, no road under ya. Not good!

    I will take lots of pictures and be glad to share with all of ya.

  7. Mari, Your pictures are show stoppers! Are those trees in the background? They look like columns and those petunias are gorgeous!

    I love this picture! Good job!

  8. LOL Mari, Yes, at least it's not snow. We had enough of that last winter and before we know it, it will be here again. Not something I'm looking forward to.

    I don't mind the rain. Last night we had a gentle rain that lasted much of the night. Today is cooler and not as humid. A cool front is to move in this afternoon, bringing thunderstorms. As long as we don't get that wild wind we had last Sunday, it's fine by me. Our water levels are still down, so the rain doesn't bother me at all.

    Take care and enjoy your weekend. I hope it's dry in your area today.

    Blessings,
    Mary

  9. I'm so thankful for the beautiful day we are having today. It's perfect. Tomorrow sounds like more rain.

    Hey, the recipes sound great. I think I made the burrito one years ago. I'll have to try it again. I know it was one we really liked.

  12. We started saying a few years ago,

    April Showers bring May flowers but
    June rain makes the grass a pain!!!

    Sorry you've been held captive by the waters.... soon enough we'll be begging for some rain to feed our flowers so we don't always have to in the sunshine.

    :)

  21. GORGEOUS! I'd like a rainy day about now. I don't like storms, but I love a good, soft, soaking rain. It's a good excuse to stay inside and do nothing! (only, please, one at a time... several days like that in a row make me depressed!!)
