Rain, rain, go away

Honk if you like grass

At least somebody doesn't mind the rain: Geese on the Brookline side of the Muddy River. The poles show where the riverbank normally is. The Urban Pantheist has more dramatic photos from downstream.

In Cambridge, Betsy Devine reports:

... If I open the cellar door, I hear water flowing across its uneven cement floor, with occasional punctuation by thumping sump pump. ...

In Arlington, Tim Jarrett had to put off a business trip to deal with flooding:

... I went downstairs after coming home from church to get some kitchen garbage bags and found the carpet in the library room drenched and water standing in the utility room. I opened the garage door to find more water in there. I stood staring for a minute, then pulled stuff off the floor and got to work. ...

Krissy tries to stave off cabin fever with a trip to the Y - only to find it jammed:

... I had a hard time finding a free Arc Trainer, the stir crazy parents and children were swarming around the lockerroom, and there were actually other people using the steam room besides me today! ...

Karrie shows that a little rain won't keep a toddler from his playground.

Beth had earlier scoffed at the rain, but she began to grow weary last night when her power went out.

In Newton, Jo apologizes to the rest of us:

... I would like to sincerely apologize for putting our lawn furniture out last Sunday.

In the future we would like to pledge to not put the lawn implements until September thus ensuring a sunny and dry Spring and Summer. ...
