After a summer with only a few days of rain, it was a welcome change this past week to see rain clouds and to actually have light rain showers. The rain dances were working!
Today was different. After another light shower, it became heavier like the ones we are used to in the south. No big deal, we thought. We were wrong. This was the start of a flash flood that we have been warned about.The rain changed to hail.
Rivers began flowing on either side of the house.
It looked like Winter had arrived early in the backyard.
When the rains stopped, we ventured out with our marsh wading boots and found the road to our house covered in mud, new waterfalls and puddles knee deep. Blue skies have returned and we are left with some shoveling to do. Call off the Rain Dances.
