It’s a gusher around here! 7.5″ inches of rain in 3 days.
Just about everything seems waterlogged. The grass is spongy, the first figs showed up fat and bloated, the creek overflowed and flooded the banks. Goodness gracious, what would Aunt Lorraine think?
Aunt Lorraine? But who is that again, Ms. Jeannie?
Well my dears, Aunt Lorraine is that lovely, thoughtful woman that gave young Burt that wonderful gift of a book called Storms: Their Origins And Effects, back in 1966.
In her inscription, she wrote the following:
Dear Burt: I hope you don’t find this book “too childish” – I still enjoy studying it. Hope you have a nice birthday. Love Aunt Lorraine.
In honor of the Aunt Lorraines of the world – who enjoy a good storm and see in them, the joy that they can bring to others, Ms. Jeannie is hosting a two day storm sale in her shop. Now through Tuesday evening take an additional 25% of all items using coupon code: STORMY upon checkout.
