Most people looked at yesterday as annoying - and I can totally agree. Flash Floods are no fun and rain can make a good hair day go bad.


Here's the difference though when you look at it from a farmer's point of view with animals....

1) Is there flooding in the barn?
2) Are the animals swimming or did they drown?
3) The ducks love it - but what of the chickens in that coop? Under that coop is an underground stream and it over flows and fills up that coop!
4) Will you get stuck just trying to feed the animals?
5) Can you get out of your house because the "creek" is now flowing over the driveway?

Now - if we were about to start PLANTING stuff - then we would have even more serious problems. Such as last year - it was too wet to even get the tractor up TO the gardens to plow! So we started everything late - and it was a complete "ICK" year which doesn't help my pantry at all.

Gives a whole new meaning to "Rain Rain Go Away......."
