</rant on> This morning on the news they have said we have had 3 weeks of rail daily. I am glad the rain is keeping the temps down unlike last year when we had days over 100 degrees. I am glad our lakes and reservoirs are over capacity. I am sick and freakin tired of all this rain. Enough already. I live at the end of a cul-de-sac that is on a incline. So typically after a normal rain my property stays wet for about a week. With all this rain it will be a month before my property dries out. I can only imagine the bugs, ticks, snakes and mice that will be coming out to live in my yard. YUK </rant off>
we have a zillion little caterpillars everywhere that have been hitching rides into the house on the pets. It has been impossible to purchase lumber and get it home in the truck, to keep up with hubby's side weekend job of building cabinets. Delivery of what he has built is a challenge. And keeping up with wet dogs, changing couch covers, convincing the pets to lift legs outside - NOT in the garage! The soft ground feels like we are walking with squishy wet watershoes and when the wind kicks up we worry about another tree falling in our forest, onto the house. We already have skylights from the last time that happened! I do hear on the news that dryer weather is on its way...fingers crossed!
While I do thank God that we have rain and not a drought..I really feel bad for all the farmers who have flooded crops. It is a sad sight all over but I see it daily riding on Hwy. 301 in the Dunn/Benson/Four Oaks area. My son works on a farm, mostly doing hay; they seem to be doing okay through all this rain, but I really feel for those who are not so fortunate.
:iagree: My driveway looked like the Grand Canyon! I had some gravel put down 2 days ago & it's already getting a rut down the middle because all the water comes down the road into my driveway. :banghead:
Very selfish of me to say but here's my rant.....lifeguards cannot work in this weather with the thunder and lightening. My daughter hasn't been able to work a regular week in a while and I know her car payment and insurance are coming up. Uh oh!! I hope mom doesn't have to cover her, again. Sherry
I am trying to house train a puppy and it is so hard since he does not like to go when the grass is wet. Every time I think we are on track it rains for 48 hours and we seem to be back to square one. It is frustrating. My plants do look great though!
