So, what do you do when it won't stop raining? You take a walk in the rain! The warm, soft rain gave the walk a calming effect, yet when I got back to the house, I was invigorated. I walked for half hour and would you believe, I wasn't drenched!
No telling how long this 7 inch bucket has been overflowing.
I'm not even in the 200 year flood zone. There are acres of farmland to flood before it's able to rise high here.The year I bought the house, we saw the water get up to the edge of this first bank. It still likes about 3 feet doing that this time.
On the trail in the neighborhood park.
Down at the park, even the geese knew not to get in the swift waters which were cresting at the bank.
Continuing my walk......
What's ahead?
Water! It's not really from the creek, but just a low place.
I would loved to have waded the water, but I detoured and headed back to the house.
Roamer spent all day napping around my house, until the rained paused around 7 and he left.
Even the neighbor's dog look bored of it all.
Expected more rain on this Sunday, but it actually looks like it's going away.
Hope we don't have a drought now.

We've been getting the same rain, at least until today. I was in a parade on the fourth and it was raining sideways. Your photos show just how much rain we've had lately.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice walk. Send some of the rain this way. We could use some again.
