deluge...

ok, so our rain came down today...not in a gentle soak...but in a deluge...the kind that has the power to wash away cars and bridges if the water is contained in too small a space......thankfully...i had brought my lunch, and had just returned from buying laundry detergent at the grocery....wow.....not something to get caught in......it must have been bad here at home, because the porch broom was out, and it was wet and muddy...i suspect that the rain came down so quickly that the water came down onto the porch and htreatened to come in the door.....thankfully my youngest cleaned off the worst of the muddy mess......
