NOT AGAIN!!!!!

It can STOP raining any day now!!

This is all too close to the way June 2008 started, down pour after down pour and then the flooding started. On my way home from work today they had State workers stationed on Hwy 30 watching the water come up to the edge of the ditches. I'm sure they were waiting to see if they were going to need to close the highway for awhile. I don't think they've even done that before and they didn't have to today. Thankfully!

Of course "Weatherman Bill" had to check out his rain gauge when he got home. It's a 5.5" gauge and it was overflowing with water. That can't be good!! Living in the country, sometimes your 'biggest' thrill is checking out the waterways and how much the creek has risen. Yep, it's up!

It's not as high as in 2008, but not too far off either.
You can tell by the way the grass is laying that it had dropped a good foot
by the time we got down there.

Down by "Hail Mary" corner it was fast approaching the
road as well. Again, it was starting to recede, but
boy was it soft!

The ditches are pretty deep here, but the water was collecting too fast.
Check out the line of grass, that's the edge of the road. YIKES!!!
Good thing we live on a MOUNTAIN!!

Of course that doesn't mean we don't have low spots.
We are now sporting a couple of small lakes!
Don't break out the fishing gear yet, as
hopefully they'll be gone in a couple days.

At least that's what the weather people say,
but we all know how often they are correct!
We were just suppose to have morning showers today!
