The Snoqualmie River
They estimate nearly 5 trillion gallons of water have fallen in the Northwest this week, leading to historic river flooding, especially along the Snoqualmie and Skagit.
That long fire hose of water traces to other side of the world, where a tropical cyclone in Indonesia supercharged these stubborn atmospheric rivers that have drenched us for days. Small world, indeed.
I went to the gym early yesterday morning and spent the rest of the day at home-- both of us happy we didn't have to go anywhere.
That said, a long dark rainy day inside can put you in a pretty dreary mood:
"I sat there with Sally. We sat there, we two. And I said, 'How I wish we had something to do!' Too wet to go out and too cold to play ball. So we sat in the house. We did nothing at all."
The Cat and the Hat, Dr. Seuss
And as that saying goes, "Idle hands are the devil's playthings."
With a little help from YouTube videos, I got busy and framed my embroideries that were just stored in a shoe box.
Turned out pretty! Now I need to find a bit of empty wall to hang them. Somewhere.
In food news, pizza night, and this vegetarian beauty made with balls of fresh mozzarella instead of cheese out of the plastic package. With enough wine, that brightened up the evening.
It's still raining this morning, but supposed to finally taper off by the end of the day.
That is not a water fountain-- it is rain blowing sideways through the athletic track field lights.
