We spent part of Saturday getting ready for Hurricane Hillary, a very unusual tropical storm that came on Sunday. We invested in a new permanent rain barrel, which Stace installed.
We certainly did get the rain on Sunday! Nearly 6 inches! It's pretty crazy, our average rainfall is 17 inches, and we've had 40 inches this year!
With all our rain collecting, we gathered over 170 gallons of water.
The girls were absolutely thrilled when we got the phone call Sunday evening that school was cancelled for Monday. The district just wasn't sure what kind of damage the facilities had sustained, and it was hard to predict how much damaging wind would occur that night. They were jumping around and dancing, like I hear kids do with snow days.
