More rain. We sure need to get some things done around here.

We have to make it to Sun/Mon to get to the next break in the deluge...they have already put out River flood warnings thru a wide area here.....between 3-7" expected between now and Sat....thinking of going and getting a mask and snorkel before it starts later this evening....glub, glub....

we had rain yesterday, overnight and now on and off here-our creek is up to the top of its bank and we have standing water in our yard again-right now it's not as much water as a couple weeks ago but there is ice underneath-I may need a pair of ice skates!!

I wish this could all be "evened out" so those who needed it could get some... rain AND sunshine both... Well, for those who are about to get rained on, try to stay dry. For those needing water, I sure hope you get some soon.

For the last 3-4 days, it's been dreary and overcast with a LOT of wind but only an occasional sprinkle. Still muddy and soft ground most places but I was able to drive my 2wd pickup to the far side of the property late yesterday but only by being careful where I drove. Wind is howling again today. I does dry the surface out a little and my long approach road to my house driveway has dried out considerably. I need to get a couple of loads of iron ore on that road but there's too much risk a 14 yard dump truck will break thru the surface and get stuck. If they do, they'll bill me for whatever it costs them to get it extricated. 14 yards of damp iron ore is very heavy.

Biggest problem here, is the under strata has never recovered fully from the Sept flood. We've had weekly rain ever since so the surface ground is really just 'floating' above a saturated under layer. Does make it pretty easy to dig post holes tho it is difficult to get the sticky cuttings off the diggers or back in around the post. Tee posts go right on down easy too.

Well, It's coming... Just getting into Dallas now... line moving east with the flow moving NE.

Don't forget to tie a boat out for the goats and one for the chickens!

We have a beautiful windy day here, but the floods are coming tonight. Flood watches out for the mid south until sat. Our totals through Thurs here are expected to be 3-6in. according to channel 5 and totals through sat 10" according to channel 3. We have a creek that goes under our driveway with a culvert and the banks are washing out. We covered the side with a tarp hoping that will help. My goats will not step outside their shed doorway if it is raining more than a mist and it is hard to check on my expecting does with my buck underfoot. He thinks it is always mating time and he has horns.

Already received better than an inch. now between bands. but more to come for sure.

The Ohio has flooded its banks. I’ll try to go by tomorrow and get a pic to share.
