My Daddy told me that beans were rabbit pills, broccoli was little trees and he put food coloring in my milk. Blue milk just tastes better!

As of 7:00 last evening, we had 1.10" of rain for just yesterday (wed). I thought we were finished until Sunday. Then around midnight, we had a really loud thunder storm, that caused the power to go out. I just checked the rain gauge, and we got another 0.90" overnight!!!

That's a whopping 9.25" in the last 8 days of February, a total of 10.35 inches for the whole month, and starting March with 0.90".

The ducks and geese continue to really enjoy shloshing around in all the mud puddles!

I haven't checked the rain gauge this morning, but something tells me that you are winning this contest!

I don't think the winning the rainfall contest was what you all were striving for!!!!! WOW, cannot imagine that much rain. We wound up with about 5 inches total for Feb counting the couple inches of snow, but after all the ground thawed it was a mud/mess nightmare. And the worst part was trying to feed after the frost came out of the ground and all the mud it created. Added to that the gloom and grey cloudy skies. It seems so many on here had that, regardless of where they are. It was sunny on Tuesday and it was like someone had just lifted the covering off everything. Unfortunately, it was cloudy again yesterday, we are getting rain/sprinkles/showers today again, and then are supposed to get winds of 30-50 MPH tonight and tomorrow. 40 degree temps feeling like 20's, possible severe tree damages and power outages. Then temps are going to drop to "near normal" or below. It has been a roller coaster ride and I was afraid we were going to get hit again with the cold. Haven't seen any trees actually budded out although they are showing some signs. Sure hope that it won't hurt the fruit trees.
Of course we are just getting going with spring calving now that the temps are going to drop....

My weather much like yours farmerjan....expecting a lot of rain later today. Glad for sunshine! The gloom is not fun.

So..I loved the oldersters thing -- need a T-shirt with it!

And that chicken joke -- I'm gonna print and tape to the local TSC baby chick pen...

I see a glimmer of sunshine peeking through the clouds! I hope it sticks around!

You've got that right, Jan! I would just as soon not have to muck around in all that mud! It just grosses me out when my boots squish and slide in all that mud!

We got a hint of sun earlier, but now it's overcast again. It would sure be nice if that sun would come and stay a while.

It is official...this is the wettest Feb on record in this area...just so thankful it is all liquid and not frozen....

Another 2" dumped from the gauge last night. Haven't checked for overnight rain total. I'm at 9" plus over the past 10-15 days. The stream is running continuously. I can hear it when I'm out with the goats. Was partly cloudy earlier and some sun when I fed them. Now it's solid overcast again.

We got 3/4” last night. I don’t mind being the loser in this contest! The sun went away, it clouded up and sprinkled. I did my morning chores in the wet slip. Yuck. Sure hope to see sunshine today!
