flooded out

a little bit too much rain in the last couple days could not be dealt with by the already saturated ground.

one of the roads out of town:

apparently about 80% of the townfolk have water in their basements. we are among the newest members of that group now. had to go out n buy a sump pump and dig a hole in the basement floor the other day.

the water is coming in from under the stairs and up from underneath the slab








we were supposed to have a rodeo this weekend, but that whole area where the water is, that is the rodeo grounds!!

Then since the sewers were over flowing with water, they had to turn off the town's running water! I was very thankful that I have a full rain barrel and have been enjoying the pure rain water.


It sure could be worse.

making rivers of rainy days

Rain rain.
I don't mind you
at first I was enjoying my rainey day, inside projects,
then the kid and dogs were visibly bored of inside projects.
so we all got our outside gear on and went a walkin'


I sure like breaking leaf dams and making rivers with my boot...



It was a good day to have rubber boots on.

this little lake was in big need of a dam break. so I helped.





can't wait till Addie is into making rivers, all she does on walks now is sleep...




if only she knew the rivers we rode thru today!!

doggies havin a sip of mud creek.




As I walked home, noticing all the windows had tv's on in them, I was almost kind of wishing I had TV to watch after I got back home from my walk.

I could watch jepordy or something.

But then I realized that if I had a TV, we may not have even gone walking at all
and we wouldn't have rosey cheeks to show for it!






However, I sure DO wish I had rototilled and planted some of the
garden before all this nice moisture...
