blame it on the rain

My apologies for the lack of updates at the moment, but I was too busy staring, open-mouthed at the torrential downpours that consumed Glenview this weekend. Last night alone it dumped barely under two inches, turning our already swamped backyard into something that resembled the Okefenokee.

This morning, I let Sadie out to take a "swim" and noticed that even the driveway had a good inch or so of standing water. Lucky for us, the basement remains dry. This all goes back to Overboard's theory of home ownership, which states that it's all about "keeping water in and out." So true.

I'll try to find some time soon to post about Kenny's latest goings-on and our awesome weekend visit from Beth and Julia.
