"And the rains came down"

Well, we haven't had the rains that El Paso endured, and we aren't planning on building an Ark, but the past three days has produced about 2 1/2 inches of much needed rain, and it looks like we could have a few more days of rain. Parts of Hereford had 6 1/2 inches of rainfall, and the labor camp was flooded again. That's not really earthshaking news, a heavy dew will cause flooding in the labor camp. When you build a community in a playa lake bed, you have to expect some flooding.

Last night, Judy noted a little visitor in the family room. She didn't scream or jump on a table but the little mouse she saw is/was hiding behind the TV. I wanted to shoot it with my pellet gun, but she was more concerned on "richochet, blood on the carpet, noise and 'how cruel'" so I didn't. I haven't seen him this morning, so I don't know where he is. I did leave a trail of bread crumbs for him into her bedroom so she could have company for the night.
