After the Storm

Hurricane Charlie has come and gone without doing much damage (thankfully). Dixie’s house lost some shingles, but that’s the only damage I’ve found. I did go running after the trash barrel before it blew into someone else’s yard, but damage was averted in that case.

We got a lot of rain. The back yard and ditches flooded as expected. What we didn’t expect was that the road flooded too. It looked like we had a river at the end of our driveway for a little while.

For a while a little bird took shelter at the bank near our front ditch. It sat there and peeped for a while before disappearing. We’re not sure if it got blown away or decided the wind was calm enough to fly.

Questions

I’ve noticed MDF babbling more over the past week. She’ll normally just babble to herself, and not necessarily to anyone else. When she does respond to others it’s by saying “hmmm!” in a questioning tone (to get a better idea see the expression below).

When the stroller was inside, CDF was helping her push it up and down the hall. She tries to reach the handles we use, but has to settle with grabbing on to the basket at the bottom and pushing there. She’s quite good at going up and down the hallway, but she can’t turn it like she can with her other walker toy.
