too much rain

[richardwise]

Every time we get a lot of rain, one corner of the corn field behind us floods. Some mornings before dawn, I can here deer splashing around. Today, I saw a duck swimming in the water. If then rain keeps up much longer, I'll be able to fish out the door of the MH.

I just seeded my lawn- I'm afraid that it's going to drown again (last year, we had 2/3 of our $1,400 of sod curl up and die due to too much rain rotting it out).

Send your excess rain to DFW - we have an ongoing drought that's getting worse each day.

I told the wife about an hour ago that I'm considering getting my shop vac out and sucking up the excess from the yard. If I do, I'll package it up and send it your way.

It's a frog strangler.

In fact, the joys if being the house closest to the storm drain:




Clearing the drain:


The hill/pathway that sends a lot of water down:

You could plug the drain and make a nice koi pond.

You can pray for snow......

seasons change and so do the complains about the weather.

Got some friends down in Pensacola, FL ...just got a message from one of them that they have had over 20" (yes inches ) in the last day. saw some pictures on Facebook and it's so bad road are getting undermined

[ependydad]

Just got to go out and recleared the drain a second time. Fun times. I shouldn't complain- my house isn't in danger of being compromised by water or anything. I don't even really get wet as I don my rain jacket, pants and floppy hat.

LOL. You know, I haven't talked about my hair lately.. let's talk about it.

Just came in from outside again- now it looks like the storm drain leading under the road is overwhelmed and water is running across the road. The drain itself was clear of debris, there's just nowhere for the water to go!

Now, the field beside us is starting to flood. Really wish we could send this water to the drought areas.

We would certainly appreciate it. I told you all here about how bad the drought has affected our local lake levels. One lake South of Fort Worth, Lake Granbury, has dried up and the remains of a woman murdered in 1979 were found in a pickup that was until recently covered in about 16 feet of water. The lake level dropped to the point the pickup was visible.

The police had always suspected the husband,but never had enough evidence to charge him and he died sometime ago.

I heard that in some drought areas that gold prospecting the lake beds is on the rise because areas are being uncovered that were unusable before.

ependydad, did you get a new rain coat? It does not look to have a hood on it for your head/hair....
