Our pigs are still in the trailer....... At least they are dry in there. Looking ahead, Sunday is supposed to be clear. Instead of digging post holes, we can probably just stand up the post and push on the top to drive it in!

You guys are getting hammered down there. We have had record rain but not like y'all in Texas

When I walked across the back pasture to check the creek, I went over the top of my shoes multiple times.

When I walked across the back pasture to check the creek, I went over the top of my shoes multiple times.

At midnight, I checked the rain gauge and it said 2.10". It was raining pretty healily, so I decided to go out and empty the rain gauge, in case it got full enough, during the night, to overflow.

For puddle drainage, DH has a trench running across, at the bottom of the back steps. Since the water was flowing pretty good, I decided to put DH's boots on. It's a good thing I did. 'Cause the water was so deep, it came over the tops of the foot of the boots. If I had my slippers on, my feet would have gotten soaked!!!

So, Latestarter, how is your creek doing? Has it overflowed its banks yet? How much rain have you gotten so far?

Posted on my journal. 2.5" creek is over the bank down below/by where we got you all the yuapon branches, full elsewhere.

Just checked the rain gauge and we are at 4.75". DH is napping, because he has a lot of generalized pain. So, I may need to go out and empty it soon.

Holy Cow - does that mean ya'll have had more than 6 inches of liquid hell? I mean rain...

That trench digging will certainly wear and tear on ya....we are approaching 1.5" here so far, but the heavy stuff hasn't started yet...it is suppose to arrive some time after dark....tell DH to take it easy and recoup...he sure deserves to........I know your ducks are Loving it like ours are.

Sounds like you need a BIG pond to run all that rain to @Devonviolet, try to stay dry.

I dumped the rain gauge this morning at 10:30 or so at 3 1/2 inches. Haven’t checked this afternoon.
