Don't tell anyone, but even after the flood, I still enjoy the rain.

We went to see the Avett Brothers at the Ommegang Brewery in Cooperstown. It poured rain, but they put on a fantastic show! (Thank you to Anna and Garrett, who loaned us their umbrella so we weren't completely drenched!)

I tore a page out of a book of photos taken for the US's bicentennial, and I used it as the background for this old toy car.

Sometimes our cat acts as if she's a dog. It's ridiculous....and awesome.

This really wasn't what I had in mind when I took this shot, but I kind of like it.

My awesome sister sent me a care package, and inside was a pair of pajama pants with tiny little skulls all over it. Have I mentioned how awesome she is?!?

Throughout this whole flood mess, we have had so many things to be grateful for. One of them is handy friends and family. Eric and one of our friends messed with our hot water heater and got it to work...at least for now!

Until our furnace is fixed/replaced, we're piling extra blankets on the bed.

After more than a week without our utilities, our electricity was turned back on today. Hooray!

Whatever the calendar says, it's definitely fall in Owego.

This chicken was one of the pieces of flotsam that floated into our yard during the flood.

The cleanup begins! Here's Eric scrubbing some of our lawn furniture that was under water in our back yard. (Thankfully our neighbor rescued it from being swept away by the water.)

I would appreciate this idyllic scene more if it weren't my back yard full of water...

It was nice to see some beauty amid the muck and devastation.

As we paddled our canoe between our home and our friends', we encountered a lot of high water.

The evening before the flood, when we had no idea that our home would end up with water, too, we went for a walk downtown to see the river. It's amazing how quickly the Susquehanna turned from a docile river into a raging beast.

I have to admit that I kind of enjoy these damp, dreary days.

Labor Day was mostly gray, which was fine with me. It was nice to have an excuse to sleep in and relax indoors.

We went to the Big Splash music festival in Hector, and one of the music groups was Sarah Lee Guthrie and Johnny Irion. Sarah Lee is the granddaughter of Woody Guthrie and the daughter Arlo Guthrie...so of course she's a musician! Their music was very enjoyable.

We have not used our fire ring to its full potential this summer. Maybe the fall will be better.

I sat for about fifteen minutes with my box of magnetic poetry, and I could find no words that would express just what I wanted to say.
