A little rain...

Well, unless you have been under a rock somewhere you have heard of the rain and flooding in NE. Nothing compared to other parts of the states in the past year, but it is unusual for us to get so much rain! We have had more rain in the past week than we usually get in a 4 month period, over 5 inches by Sunday night. I am not sure what the total was when it finally finished.

Craziness in the house, we were all going a little stir crazy, the walls were a little too close, and there were not enough rooms for the kids to be in! So, last night I had it and sent them out in their rain gear (some of them) to run off a little energy! It was sprinkling a little when they went out and about 20 minutes later it was SUNNY!!! Whoa... We all stopped and stared at the sun!

Phil put his row boat into the "pond" that we have in the back yard now, we are thinking of selling our house, it is water front property now, it should sell for a lot! :)

Check out some of the pictures, and just remember that we are pretty high up where we are, there was a lot of devastation in other parts of our little town and state. We didn't have any damage to any of our property!

The brown house next door to you also is waterfront property.
BTW---I saw cows doing the Dog-Paddle today in the pond behind the back barn-Boy did that look funny.

just checked the "pond" and it is not going down, could be that we had a little more rain last night! who knows too bad it wasn't winter and the kids could be skating on it right now, but then again if it was winter that would have been SNOW!! ugh...I will take the rain!

Nice pics! This weekend I ran out and weeded flower beds whenever we had a break in the rain.
