My weather station actually says "it's raining cats 'n dogs."

Rainy rain rain.  Then rain and rain, plus a little more rain. Rain north, rain south. Rain east and rain west.  Rain. Rain on flowers, rain in yard, rain in street rain rain. Giant puddles of rain. Cats not happy with rain. Over half an inch by noon today, and more coming. Frogs are very happy and loud by the pond. Rain continues.

Water is pooling everywhere in our saturated back yard.

First blooming tulip in deer-proof cage with little fir tree.

Tulips saying "what me worry?" They love rain!

Happy bulbs along front fence.  

Daffodils getting a little heavy with rain.
