Rain, rain & more rain
It is raining again. We had more than 5 inches of rain last night and its still raining. It is all from the last hurricane.
We had the ice storm earlier this year. Flooding rains in the spring through early summer now more rain. I wonder what we are in for this winter. |

We've been in droght conditions most of the summer... right now we're under flood warnings. Both my daughters are in towns along the Mississippi river, about 20 miles apart, and are seeing flooding near them. Luckily they're both safe.
Here the river would need to rise about 60 feet to cause me any risk. So I feel pretty safe. It's supposed to rain most of the week here. My plants are loving it!

Thank goodness that your girls are safe, Tink! Hasn't this weather been absolutely crazy this year? We've had flood but now could really use a good rain on our crops. So Goofywife, send that rain right on up to Kansas!!!!!!

This weather IS crazy. It's flood or drought, nothing in between. We're just hoping that this latest hurricane doesn't dump any more water on Texas or Oklahoma. We're so saturated, we can't take much more without some even worse river flooding. It's looking like this one will miss us, though. Poor Mexico!!!

Marilyn, I hope that mess misses you!
We're not supposed to see a stop in the rain until Friday night. We needed rain, but not quite this much! I have to say though that my plants are loving it. The hibiscus, cosmos, roses and sunflower are all celebrating with gorgeous blossoms.
