When I walked across the back pasture to check the creek, I went over the top of my shoes multiple times.

At midnight, I checked the rain gauge and it said 2.10". It was raining pretty healily, so I decided to go out and empty the rain gauge, in case it got full enough, during the night, to overflow.

For puddle drainage, DH has a trench running across, at the bottom of the back steps. Since the water was flowing pretty good, I decided to put DH's boots on. It's a good thing I did. 'Cause the water was so deep, it came over the tops of the foot of the boots. :ep If I had my slippers on, my feet would have gotten soaked!!!

So, Latestarter, how is your creek doing? Has it overflowed its banks yet? How much rain have you gotten so far?

That trench digging will certainly wear and tear on ya....we are approaching 1.5" here so far, but the heavy stuff hasn't started yet...it is suppose to arrive some time after dark....tell DH to take it easy and recoup...he sure deserves to....:)....I know your ducks are Loving it like ours are.
