rain day....

The banks of the Cumberland overflowed last May after days and days of very heavy rain. Since I moved to Clarksville, it has seemed like it has rained 2 or 3 days every week - sometimes more. According to the natives, this spring has been a little like last year. We were sent home on Tuesday afternoon and work was cancelled on Wednesday due to severe thunderstorms and the threat of tornadoes. The river is expected to flood but only the farmland along the western bank. The businesses along the eastern bank will be spared this year. Most of them have just recently recovered from last years flood. Wednesday will be a good day for reading and laundry.
