Greetings Everyone! I hope you all have managed to stay dry in this rain with your umbrellas and raincoats. We are fortunate that the temperatures are not freezing thus far. The dirt road I live on was pretty slick and hazardous by Sunday evening due to the heavy rains. We human beings have acquired the knowledge to control various things in life but, the weather is not one of them. Be careful out there.
