Mass Flooding
Man, what a deluge we've had lately! I can't even remember when it started, although I know that I had been planning on mowing the lawn last Friday, and I couldn't because of rain...
Anyhow, yesterday both Gail and Jared were home from school because of the rain and flooding. The Boston Globe has had pictures of flooding in Peabody for two days in a row now. Yesterday afternoon Gail went out to go grocery shopping. Both Market Baskets in the area were closed due to flooding, and she ended up going to a Stop and Shop via a roundabout route. Jared and I went down to North Reading to get Jared's hair cut and dyed, and we had to take a detour because Rte 28 was blocked off between Andover and North Reading.
In the evening, I went to take Jared to his Tae Kwon Do class. We came home after half an hour of driving around, having tried several different approaches to the area, only to find that the whole section of town where the class was was flooded out.
Today's been better. Gail and Jared went off to school in the morning, and this afternoon the sun is coming out occassionally. Tomorrow will be even better. This on Thursday the rain will return... I'd better get the lawn mowed tomorrow...
