stand outside the spotlight

More rain. I cleaned the rain gutter on the back side of the garage--water was pouring over the sides--and diverted the water in three downspouts away from the foundations with flexible downspout extensions. I had to cut a few inches off the bottom of two of the downspouts in order to get the flexible downspouts to fit. I promise I won't say downspouts again in this post.

Since I was already wet and since it was very warm today I raked leaves out of the gutter in the street in front of our house and in front of the two neighbors' houses on either side of our house. Now I have said house a few too many times. I was able to turn the lakes into swift moving streams!
