Because of Rain

 

 

 

 

So because of the rain our basement got some water damage.  It came in through the window and soaked the floor.  The carpet in the basement is super old (and ugly) anyway so we may use the water as an excuse to recarpet the basement. 
Because of the rain a small creek by us rose considerably.  There is usually an island in the middle of the creek, but it was completely covered. And there was an abundance of Crawdads around as well.  We were there for our weekly nature study and met a family with children the same age and sex as ours, and they were LDS and they were in the ward that I was in when I lived with my parents.  Small world.  The kids love this creek, it is like a piece of the country within suburbia.
