We have been in a pretty serious drought all year long. I guess today was the day that mother nature chose to send us some relief. About 9:00 this morning the heavens opened up and it started just pouring. The closest weather station to us says that we have gotten about 5 inches of rain in a little over 4 hours. Anyone who has been down here knows that Texas is not designed for water drainage so the whole town is flooded. Luckily, our house is on a "hill" in the middle of our property so there's no water in the house.
There is a river flowing around our yard. This is looking to the west from our house.

Much more water and the boat may just float away.....
The kids have had a blast playing in the pond/river through our property. I don't know where all the water is going but it's running away...
A view of the backside of the house taken from the south side of our property. See the "hill" it's on? It's effective at keeping the water away, there are rivers all around the house and lawn, thank goodness or we would have a swimming pool in our living room. If you look close, you can see Phoebe standing in water that is deeper than her belly. All of that water is moving, not just standing still. There's LOTS of water.
