Hi Terri,

This is the first day we've had with no rain but it's so cloudy it could happen any time. It's also suddenly very cold, adding the lower temps to the cloudy day isn't a good mix. Taking Sunshine for her little morning walk was not a puddle hopping day, so with yesterday's wind and no rain during the night, the excess water has gone somewhere. Not so bad.

Our problem here is with drinking water. We are on the Tennessee River and the city's water processing plant is located right on the banks of it so if water overflows it can get into the plant and we have no drinking water. There are times when they've 'borrowed' water from another city but those cities that are close have the same problem, though I don't think they are all on one of the rivers. Anyway, so far, so good, but I did stock up on bottled water yesterday just in case.

No more lost trees either, though I need to go out and play pick up sticks in my yard, lots of limbs down there. I shouldn't complain, so many others lost lives and homes, devastating losses. It's humbling when you think about that. Downed limbs don't even compare.

Stay safe, Terri, and try to stay dry!
