Yes, Hinotori. We got 1.70" yesterday!! The massive long rain starts Sunday. The local fella on FB, who watches both major models, said we could get 5 - 8" of rain over 4 days. There will be small stream flooding and the rivers will rise a bit. I'm on a hill, but our natural springs will be seeping like mad!!

We get lucky in that much of it makes a hole and goes around us. Really weird because 4 miles away will get the brunt of it. Only half an inch yesterday but town was much heavier.
3 inches forecast for us on Monday with another 2 on Tuesday

It's at least half an inch a day for the next many days.
We rain often here, but not normally lots of rain. The forecast said to expect a months worth of rain with this system. Thats 8-9 inches for December on average. Mom isn't comprehending the amount because that's her average annual rainfall.

Since the original thistle feeder was getting mobbed since I moved it to the backyard away from Grand Central Station in the front yard, I bought a second feeder. All feeding perches are full with a waiting queue.

Foggy out. Wetness & warmer with dreary overcast. Can you tell I'm enthused? Slept late but got an amazing 8 hrs. Now, oatmeal that's more brunch than breakfast 
. Made enough for 2 more meals. Goats are cleaning up yesterday's hay, so no rush there. I'll package up yesterday's pulled pork for the freezer before outside activity today.
More flurries possible tomorrow
so far, not a happy weather December for me. Could we just have one month of winter??? I'm ready to be done.
