"Come on, let me see you shake your tail feather. . ."

It was a wet one all day yesterday, things still have not dried out, including this dove's sorry-looking tail feathers - a bit reminiscent of John Travolta's bedraggled archangel outfit in "Michael."
We needed the rain, some bright sunshine today will bring out a surge everywhere. Looks like we received about an inch of water, don't have a rain gauge and Tom hasn't reported in yet. The pond rose an inch and a half. The zero stripe on the gauge (at right) was inundated this morning.
