Hi Maddie.. curious minds have to know; fell out of what, and was
it your bottom or the dog's?

Or does a bottom mean something else there

Hi Ladies
The bottom fell out means that it rained so hard that it was as if
"the
bottom fell out" of a bucket full of water. Sploosh! Now that's a hard
rain!

Yes I'm glad to see you too, Janet. Have been wondering what you
were up to. Last night was warmer here, Cloud cover. But today was
cold and barely got to low 40's. Tomorrow should bring some rain
(Maybe) if El Nino comes across with some warmer air and some
moisture. We surely do need it.
