David and I spent much of the storm googling “French Drain” and “water absorbing plants” because our backyard flooded this weekend and water was coming up through the basement floor through small fissures that drenched a rug and some old boxes. We wanted to feel cozy and dry inside but I know inside we both kept wondering how much the storm would end up costing us.

Sunday we headed out to Home Depot for waterproof paint and other leak stopping stuff and we saw all the trees that had crashed into people’s sunrooms and garages and we realized it could have been so much worse. Even the kids stopped complaining about not being able to go outside.
