More weather woes

 We're swimming here.

The basement in the house flooded twice in a day and a half.  

Rain is in the forecast for the next six days.  Too bad we can't send it to California where it's wanted.

I'm still harvesting lettuce and green beans.  The soil in the garden drains well, so if I'm lucky, nothing will drown.

The raspberries are ripening, and I did get this little bunch of 'Latham Red' berries.

And the new little 'Our Lady of Guadalupe' isn't letting the rains stop her.  I love this rose.  It smells like old fashioned roses.  The scent I recognize as the smell of a rose.

As of the last three days in which the dreaded Japanese beetles showed up, 'Our Lady' hasn't been attacked yet.  But 'South Africa' is being devoured.

Before the storms:

Gladiolus 'Galaxian'

Safflower

UPDATE:

The basement flooded again a week after posting this.  The carrots rotted in the ground, and all the poppies drowned.  We wanted rain.  We needed rain.  I guess we just forgot to specify how much.

Still, the West and Northwest are on fire, so by comparison, we're better off with the flooding.
