Talk about too much rain! I never heard the official totals, but we got close to a foot of rain over about a 12 hour period. These pictures were taken almost 2 weeks ago, and the pond still hasn't dropped at all. In fact, it has actually gotten a little deeper. The driveway still has some standing water. I sure hope the water sinks in soon to make room for the summer rains. Otherwise, I'm concerned that traveling down our driveway will require a boat! (The trees are usually on dry ground, and the wooden fence posts are supposed to be well out of the water.)
If you look close, you can see where the lily pads end. That's usually where the edge of the water is.
I took a drive while it was still raining and found several places where the water was at or above the level of the road.
I stole this picture from my friend Teri. It is the road that we take to get to our house. The rushing water washed out the dirt and sand that used to be holding up the road. Unfortunately, the repairs are still not finished, so we get to take a nice detour anytime we go anywhere. You don't think a lot about how much you appreciate a road until you can't use it!
