The Hobbit Hole XXXI - Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Mawwage is what bwings us togethew today!

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

Well....okay...

As long as you don't have some uppity underling who wants your job.

Ugh, why do we meet at dawn? Dawn is nasty.

Actually it's kind of purple here. It's misty and the mist is purple.

Ungh...it's still dark here.

Oh, and it's still raining. In case anyone wondered.

We're still 8 inches short on rain for the year...

I think we got eight inches in one day yesterday.

Or more.

Doesn't sound like it's slowed any, either. I wonder what the roads are like.

This map kinda cracks me up:

Not much left that isn't green...might as well just color the whole segment.

I wish they'd revise the way they do flood warnings. By county is not really all that helpful. You'd think they could map the rivers and a topographical map that shows where the flood plains are.

Yeah - I thought I was beyond being surprised by rain, but this is just a lot of rain no matter where you live :~)

Thankful that the barn is dry though, and the horses are having their breakfast inside.

Morning! How'd your place hold up yesterday? Did you get any flooding from that lower patio?

I agree.

I did find this page - still by county, but it does give more detail.
http://www.atmos.washington.edu/data/warning_report.WWA.html

I'm a bit perplexed by this statement, though, for the Chehalis:
NONFLOOD FLOODING IS OCCURRING AND MINOR FLOODING IS FORECAST

What the...what's nonflood flooding??

Heh... I don't know what that means. :~)

Maybe it means "Its only flooding the same ole stuff it always floods"

But it's still flooding!

It's not a nonflood.

Though...nonflood is kind of a cool word.
