Friends of the Front Porch Library–it was a washout! I baked the cake, but the rain came down and then the tornado warning was issued and then–well, our usually high-and-dry neighborhood turned ankle-deep. I put a couple of chairs at the end of the driveway as an attention getter and a sign under the umbrella on the picnic table to say we’re closed, then watched from my house across the street for any kids pedaling through a reenactment of the great flood, but saw none. Whew!
