..... and we may get more rain today

Outdoor plant in a clay pot? A little more rain and you'll be growing sponges. And coral.

Not like I have much room to talk. We've had so much rain here that my yard is turning into a swamp. And I live on top of a hill.

Same goes for MN. Have never seen this much in my life. River here has broken records held since 93 when we moved down.
We are giving up the job after 25 years. Can`t take it all anymore. My brain can`t take finding another dead resident. Last one
did me in. Was a good friend not unlike my father, just can`t get past it. Only my 8th. But it finalized our retirement. 287 turn
overs since April 1994. 387 have died, mentally destroyed. Its a job I will never touch again. We have been over flood stage
since the begging of March. Been suffering from depression and extremely high blood pressure. Now put on PTO by work and
see our lives moving on. Past 2 weeks have been looking for jobs out west.
