Southern California is getting hit with a lot of rain, it is supposed to keep raining the rest of the week, it is just day 2 and my back yard is really flooded. Cricket rings the bells to go out, gets wet and muddy and comes running in, she rings the bells to go out, gets wet and muddy and then comes in, a never ending cycle, LOL. Poor Cricket has had a couple of accidents in the house before I realized there were no dry spots in the back yard. Poor dog has pooped on this green plastic toddler toy that is the only dry spot right now. I think it is going to be a very long week. There are tornado warnings for Long Beach a few hours from here and severe thunderstorm warnings for our area and it was just snowing a few minuetes ago and the freeway through Cajon pass that leads to our house is closed except for vehicles being escorted by hiway patrol. We do not handle rain well in Southern California, especially in the desert!
