I guess the Lakes are rising too.
I heard this morning that Lake Michigan and another one (I think it was Lake Huron) are 9" above what they were this time last year, but they are still 14" DOWN from their normal!

So I know we've been getting a lot of rain lately, but we really still need it. I just wish it wouldn't come all at once in those heavy down pours that cause so much flooding.....

And I know it's hard to appreciate when we've been getting so much with such severe storms, but rain really is a good thing. We've got a friend that lives out in Idaho, and Terry's family lives in Denver, and they are just really, really dry out there and that's why they've been hit with so many severe wild fires in the last few years.

Rain is a good thing.
