Way Too Much Rain - the Drought is Over

We were up during the night as it was raining and lightning.  With the way the tile around our house is and the way it's supposed to drain, our sump pump is just a backup but it was running every minute.  Bill ended up having to go out in the rain and lightning to dig a hole with the tractor and cover an intake in our field.   It was due to our creek being up so high.  He says this morning that it's higher than he's ever seen it.  He says the golf course is flooded and so are three fields that we farm to the west of us.   That's what he's seen so far.  We've gotten 3.3" in the last 24 hours.

Our Memorial Day service has been moved inside.  There is always a maid rite lunch at the Lutheran Church which we will probably go to. 

The first picture is our creek which we can usually drive across and last summer was almost dried up.  I have a video of it flowing I may add later.  The next one is two holes at the golf course and then fields that we farm.
