Yes, of course, I will say more. And those who know me best would be surprised if I didn’t. The 2 inches of rain displayed in my Bonnie’s rain gauge follow the 6 inches we had last week. This rainy period is wreaking havoc not just in my yard and humble garden but in farmers’ fields, basements, rivers and roads.

But like Little Orphan Annie, I am an optimist–The sun will come out tomorrow. Should it not, I heed Scarlett O’Hara’s sage wisdom–tomorrow is another day. And our well-educated meteorologists promise both, in fact.

Finally, evoking the words of Martha Stewart–that’s a very good thing.
