California had been waiting for rain and worrying about dry conditions. This weekend we got a storm that took an edge off that worry. On Saturday my house got 6″ of rain in a 24 hour period. That’s A LOT!
I cleared all the drainage ditches in the morning and by the afternoon so much debris had washed down from the hills the ditches had overflowed and I had flooding. It was a long day trying to get so much water to flow the ways that I wanted.
The sheep decided to stay cozy in the barn over the weekend while 8″ of much needed rain fell on the roof. The ducks however had a ball! Running/waddling as fast as their web feet would take them, they’d race towards the pasture and the little streams that popped up to dig their bills deep in the water and mud. Whenever I get tired of the rain I can always watch the ducks thoroughly enjoying their playground and I feel happy about it once again.
