Too much rain?

This was, perhaps, not the best year for me to leave my raincoat in Phoenix. I could buy another, but then I'd probably leave two raincoats in Phoenix next summer.

Perhaps we're ready for drier days. My dogs flushed a mother duck quietly nested in my neighbor's yard and my blue heron came by flying low over my back yard. Scouting my pond, perhaps? Shall I stock it?

On the upside, however, my "kids" and I walked the parkway and did not have to jump out of the way of any bicycles. Not a good day for bicycles, I guess.
