Purplequeenvt in 2025

The flooding isn’t as bad as it was back in February, but it’s supposed to rain today, tomorrow, and Saturday so it’s going to get worse. So far my sister/BIL’s driveway is still drivable, but the water was creeping up.

The sinkhole by the back pond doubled (at least) over night. I’m worried I’m going to lose my pond.

The pond is starting to creep across BIL’s driveway.

I’m glad y’all got through the worst of the storm with no damage. But now more rain and flooding. Hang in there!

It’s not as deep as February’s flood yet, but it’s getting close and we still have more rain in the forecast. We’ve gotten over 7” already.









I started lambing during the last flood and now I’ve finished (the official season with the ewes I bred anyways) during another flood.

Jura had a black ewe and a white ram this morning.

Oh, my! Your pond runneth over

Ground water soaking, after all rain you're getting...that driveway won't be seen for a while! Is there another access to their house? That looks scary.

You need a rowboat!

I have a rowboat, but I don’t have any oars and I’m pretty sure the boat is underwater now.

I guess at this point, oars wouldn’t help much.

I hear the theme from Gilligan's Island playing in the background.

We’re well over 9.5” of rain and it’s still raining. If you scroll up a few posts to the picture with the 2 red gates, the water is up to the next bar and is 32” deep.



There’s my boat.


I did wade in a pull it out and then took it for a spin. I don’t have oars, but in a pinch, a shovel works too.
