Misadventurous Melissa

Everyday is an adventure, or misadventure as the case may be. It is the latter that makes for the best stories, inspiring the name of my blog. I'm a nurse and an attorney (and way too silly sometimes). I am retired now. WELCOME to my blog! This is a work of fiction inspired by true events. The patients I refer to are a patchwork quilt of various patient's problems mixed together. If you think you recognize someone, you are wrong. These people do not really exist.

Three Inches

This is what 3 inches of rain does to my yard. It's hard to tell where the pond begins and ends.


I really should slosh out to the drain and clean it out, but that would get me wet. For some strange reason I would rather stay inside. If the water level starts to rise much more, maybe than I'll go out and fish around for the drain and reach in with my hands and pull out the blockage. Please don't let it be a dead rat. Maybe I'll just stay inside instead. The water has to go down eventually by itself.

It's nothing for us to get 3 inches + of rain here in our summer. Living on sand helps as the water drains away quickly. I am impressed with your photos....i thought you were on clay? It doesn't look too bad at all.
Are you expecting more rain? I thought CA was a very dry State.

This is our rainy season. The summers are dry. I am on clay, but the backyard slopes up a little, so the water all drains towards the house and forms a lake around it, especially when the drains get clogged. The water is gone now and there is mud in its place which the dogs track in the house. :(

Ugh, I am sorry about that!

I'm used to mud on the floors, the furniture and my bed. It's everyone else who is shocked by it.
