Rain from the west coast dumped on us Friday. Afterward, Hurricane Patricia moved up settling over southern portions of Texas along the coast and decided to stay a while. We've been on the northern edge receiving steady rain for two days from her. The rain gauge has been emptied out twice. So far we're at 11 1/2 inches. Nice! Much welcome since we've only had one shower since last spring's deluge. We needed it.
Of course, I have to include a photo of the barn....
... if only to show that the pond is full again. Yay! It has reached maximum capacity as it has drains that keep it from getting any higher.
We have a few areas about 2" deep in the yard. Nice thing about all this rain ~ it runs off into the pond and seeps down into our well!
The boys have a nice hill to avoid slogging around in puddles all the time. The rain had cleaned them nicely until they rolled around to cover themselves once again in grass and dirt. I think they're happy out there :)
I like the cute prints the girls leave behind :)
I was feeling sorry for the gopher as several of his holes were washed out. Down by the coop there is one that has water gushing out like a rain gutter. A new mound was apparent today so he hasn't drowned much to Michael's dismay. He promises to wage war on them in the future. I just wanna see one pop up and dance!
