Yes, with 5.5 inches of rain in the last 24 hours, the banks of the Reedy River are overflowing once again. And though rain is forecast for every day through the end of the year, there is much to relish and be thankful for. Happily, Tim and I have returned safely to the Upstate after a rewarding trip to Virginia to celebrate the season with family and are now looking forward to closing 2015 with the comfort and joys of home and friends.
The smiles that warm our hearts.
I hope you, too, will enjoy a cozy and cheerful Christmas. And best wishes for a happy and productive 2016, with enough challenges to keep it interesting and sufficient mischief to make it fun.
Merry Christmas 2015 and all the best to you and yours in the year ahead!

You are not alone on river watch. How much more do the clouds have to give?
Jessica–Fingers crossed for a reprieve sometime soon!
Darling smiles! We’re guessing we had over 3 inches of rain here–5 would be amazing. Enjoy the season.
