We’ve had plenty of rain all summer. Not a week has gone by that the lawn hasn’t needed mowed and it never was brown. Usually there isn’t much growing grass in July & August to mow.
From Tuesday night, 8/28, through Monday night, 9/3, I recorded 7.59″ of rain! We don’t really have fields that flood or stay flooded but now even the ones north of the house have standing water. The farmer was able to mow the lawn quickly last evening but drove through standing water in lower parts of the yard.
Sunday afternoon:
Clearly some water rushed through here to flatten the tall grasses!
The creek crossing that is usually dry by now.
Monday afternoon – 3 hours after it quit raining that day. Neither the dog nor I wanted to go through this!
Today is more rain! It was .6″ a bit ago.
The soybeans are looking nearly ready for harvest and at this point it will take a long time to dry out the fields for equipment.
The color of the sky and the trees was weird on this photo so I just made it black & white. But you see the pressing under the edges of the trunk and branches.
