Yesterday, the rain woke me up. The sound echoed down from my metal roof. Torrents falling and then a respite and then more torrents. I stepped outside onto my porch and saw the waters flowing down my street toward the lake. The lake is 80 yards away. At the beginning of the summer, it was 100 yards away.

It finally stopped around noon’ish. Five and a half inches had fallen. Wow!

I went for a quick ride in the golf cart and then saw this neat fungus/mushroom? It had sprung up from all the moisture. Today, when I went by, it had opened up. Of course, I didn’t have my camera with me for that. Here’s the picture from yesterday….and my neighbor’s rain gauge reading 1.5 inches (he had emptied it at 4 inches).



And, while I was stopped, I heard a large tree limb crashing to the ground out in the woods. The thud it made when it reached the ground was pretty good. I think there’s a really good reason why rotten tree limbs are called widow-makers!

I finished my project with Access! It took me about a week, but I now have a form that is easy to understand and reports that make sense. And, I have deleted (scary word, I know) forms and reports that were cluttering up the place! Plus, I have addressed all those nasty little questions like……if the report is titled “Members Who Are Mailed Bulletin”, why is there one member with no address? So, I am a happy camper!
