Rain, Rain Go Away

This is the popular song of choice for the kids this week around our 20 ac.  We have had many days of rain, and not just sprinkles, but RAIN and we have more to come this week.  We have been in a flash flood watch or warning more than I can remember for this time of year.  Fortunately we don't really have to worry about that around these 20 ac, but other places in our county do.  We don't, because we are on a hill and every which direction from the house goes down hill.  (Another reason finding a place last year to put the garden was tricky.)  The garden has enjoyed all the great rain water and as of yet has not gotten too waterlogged.  It always amazes me how much better things grow with rain water vs. well water and toss in some lightning and life is grand.

The kids however get a bit stir crazy when we have so many days of storms.  If it were just a nice rain, they could go out and play, but not with that lightning and thunder.  Oh well, this too shall pass.  Now I just wish I had a rain barrel, soon hopefully, gotta save up some money.  It really is too bad that the old cistern wasn't in such a bad place and in disrepair, we could be using that.
