It's been raining here in the Washington DC area since last Thursday night. The news yesterday said that Centreville has had almost 10 inches of rain since then. Today's supposed to be the last day for a while, but they're calling for another 2-4 inches of rain today before it's done. Lots of flooding all over from what I've heard. The golf course near my office has a creek running through it and it looks like it went over its banks yesterday, covering the bridges back and forth across it. It'll be interesting to see what happens when we get what's coming tonight.
My lawn looks fantastic at least. It looks like it's a foot high in places, but it's all thick and green. I'm happily surprised that it came back like that with the rain. I try not to water it, being a subscriber of the Organic Lawncare for the Cheap and Lazy method, and I'd forgotten how it looks when the lawn is completely hydrated. I tended to take the watering thing a little too far and not water it at all, so while my lawn is pretty tough during droughts, I'm learning that it's probably a lot more dehydrated than it should be.
So much for being completely low-maintenance. :)
