Rain!

Be careful what you wish for:

My front yard...under at least six inches of water.
Another couple and my living room would be in da water!

My front yard is like a river; that's a current going downstream!

The yard between house & garage...

Yeah, we got rain today; it's receding now. Good thing I watered my tomatoes earlier...won't have to now for a couple days.

[edited to add: I just heard we got 3" in 45 minutes...but then, the storm, which was a doozy (rain, hail, lots of lightening strikes in the town), lasted a couple hours so I have no idea what the total was. But thank the gods...it didn't get inside my house AND...the town is going to clean out that little ditch between the road and my home! Yippieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee]
