We're wet

[Farmer Kitty]

We had 3" of rain in the last 26 hours. Three days with rain before that. Here's some pics.

This is the W ditch (2 ditches side-by-side) in our heifer pasture. They were pretty dry before. Now they are running over.

A pic I took yesterday afternoon on our travels.

This is usually a small, shallow ribbon of water. Something you could easily walk barefoot across with kids.

Yikes! We had alot of rain like that about a month ago. I took pics of the pasture, the creek swelled over about a foot from the top of the banks..I don't mind the rain, I just hate having the swamp it leaves behind!

 

[Farmer Kitty]

Me too! Especially with our clay ground. It likes to hold your feet!

There are still ducks swimming in parts of all my fields! Luckily my cows have evolved into part water Buffalo and don't mind crossing over to the higher ground!
I would really like to spread some manure on one of the lower fields, but I think even with 4 wheel drive, my tractor would sink!
