Driving to church this morning, there was a sign in the road about three quarters of a mile west of here. It said "Road Closed". I thought great. I have to drive 20 miles around to get to church and only have five minutes to do it. An oncoming car came through so I continued on. I figured I could turn around if the bridge were flooded. I saw where the water had been over the road but had receded to the swamp. The bridge did not flood but a low lying area near it. I imagine the tide was coming up from the canal and bay and the rain was bringing water down from Back Creek. The parking lot at the Chesapeake Inn was flooded and possibly the ground floor there. I had two inches of rain in the rain gauge.
A children's group at the church was selling flowers so I got the last of them. It was less that a flat. There were two containers of wax plant begonias; one red and one pink, two containers of dusty miller, and one container of marigolds. Some had four in the container and some had six. It is still too early to plant them. I put them on the steps all day and brought them into the bathroom for the night.
When I got home from church, I did some raking of leaves that had piled up over the winter. I took Danny for his walk. We stopped and talked to two neighbors. One was a lady who is a truck driver and the other was Jim. Danny likes both of them. We also met a boy walking the Pug dog. They sniffed each other and then Danny growled and snapped at her. He usually likes other dogs but doesn't like puppies. I didn't think the pug was a puppy because she looked like she just had puppies. She could still be under two years or two and a half years old. That seems to be how old dogs need to be before Danny likes them. Although he has two dog friends who are puppies. One is a Cairn Terrier named Barley and the other is a Yorkie named Cuddles.
I watched the Burn Notice Marathon this afternoon. I talked to Ted's mother, had a light dinner and watched Sherlock Holmes and Masterpiece Classic.
