Seems like alot of our Thursday are rainy ones. The temperature here is very nice right around 70-degrees. Which leads me to think that we are going to have one of those 'warm'/'hot' Thanksgiving and/or Christmas'. I remember when I was in high school and we all were wearing shorts at Christmas, because it was so hot. If things keep on at this pace we may be looking at a repeat of that year, which was for those of you that don't remember was over 26-years ago.
The rain has arrived with a vengeance. It has rained extremely hard at some times followed by periods of relief. This gives up a brief time to let the dogs out for a quick potty break before the rain starts back up once again.
At one point Sean & I went out to clear the leaves away from our neighbors fence in order for the water to drain out of our shared 'pond' and down through her french drain. The shared pond had risen to 6-inches in depth and was on the rise. Once the leaves were gone it quickly receded. We even went over into the neighbors yard and cleared the leaves away from her far fence, which usually forms what is affectionately known as Lake Debbie in period of extreme rain - the 'lake' had risen to 12-inches deep at the time. We cleared out some of the fence line in an effort to keep all this water moving. What seems to be happening now is that it is just falling too fast to get under the fences and out of here, before there is standing water.
Walter came over to play computer again with Sean again. On his way over he took this picture out of his car window of the creek that flows through Frederick Farms. This is where the creek crosses under the road at, what the kids call, the Big Hill. The last rainfall amounts that I heard were approximately 2-3 inches for the area.

Thoughts for the Day:
- "It is bad to suppress laughter; it goes back down and spreads to your hips."
- A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others. A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it; action presupposes a goal which is worth achieving. - Ayn Rand
