Much Needed Rain


Tropical Storm Fay is bringing some much needed rain our way. We had some gusts last night which created quite the howling effect bringing with it a steady rain. Other than the usual wind damage like a few broken branches, all is well. To illustrate our need for rain, here is what greeted Matt as he tried to go out the front door a few days ago. Our friendly neighborhood iguana was up in our flower bed trying to drink from the hose which is about 1 foot away from the door opening. To say the least, Matt was startled as these creatures rarely come that close to people or our homes. Of course, we realized he must be in real need of water to come so close so we moved the end of the hose and turned it on for him. He was very appreciative and gave us the customary nod of approval. A memorable tropical moment!
