Rain Part 3 10/31/09
By Susie Devries
OK, so we have had a lot of rain. Today the sun is out, it's really out and the sky is such a pretty blue!! One of the benefits of all this rain is that the changing colors of the trees are just beautiful. I hope to go out today and get some nice pictures. I also want to travel up Batesville Pike, which is only a 1/2 mile from us and get a picture of the caved in road. If they turn out good, I'll send some on.
