Dang weather!  The weather guy on  our local station always seems to nail the bad stuff.  If he calls for good weather though, watch out!  Yesterday, nothing but rain.  Today, all wind.  Last night, both thrown together!

Our addition is progressing slowly but, yesterday’s torrent caused water to seep in from the construction zone to the main living area.  By the time I arrived home, Scout “The wonder dog”, was adrift on his doggy bed/flotation device, using my binoculars to look for Somali pirates!   After a search of the house I found no pirates.  I believe this is partially due to the fact that we live 1000 miles from an ocean, and even more likely, pirates can’t stand puppy lickin!  Good Job Scout!

Knowing “Honey Bunches” would be home soon, I sprung into action, sweeping water off the adjoining concrete and wet vacuuming the existing floor.  I flung the furniture around trying to suck up all the water before she saw my mess.  About this time I here “Honey Bunches” driving up the road.  I try to straighten up the room but, it’s too late.

As she enters the house, she looks at me in my rubber boots, dog covered in mud and water, and the furniture rearranged.  “What has happened to our house!?”, asks “Honey Bunches”.  “Woof, Woof”, says Scout.  “He’s right”, I say, “Pirates”!
