Sily, the forecast is for 2-6 inches. If I look out the window with my binocs I can see there is 1.1" in the rain gauge so far. It's breezy with some gusts. It's not bad out, just wet. :D The electricity just blinked out for a few moments. Perhaps a branch came down and shorted the lines. I may go for a walk later.
To diverge even further from the likes of Lady de Rothschild, we've had a moose in town! He left tracks across this property, out back. He may have been headed for the small pond on the adjacent property. He was sited not far from here two days ago crossing the road which runs sort of parallel to this one. Someone alerted the PD. He is likely looking for a female because rutting season has begun. I've been wanting to see a moose for years. I may miss this one, too, but I am thrilled he was so close.
