I have never seen this much rain in the mtns of NC. Everyday or night we get rain. Now I just expect it. Sigh! There is mud in my chicken yard and nothing i can really do about it. It is at the bottom of a hill. It washes. The only saving grace is a wide shed roof over part of it that is partiallly walled in to keep out the riverlets of water. They stay dry there and in their nice new coop.
My garden has surprisingly flourished on the west side of a hill. Just enough angle for the most of the water to run off. We usually have to irrigate. Not this yr.!!! I have had beautiful half-runner string beans , Whopper tomatoes and loads of Colossus field peas. Cukes turned out nice too. They have kept me busy pickling,canning and freezing for the winter. THATS WHERE I HAVE BEEN. What about everyone else.
My chicks are all now about 17 wks old. I have 4 roos to many and hate to clean them. Two white full orpingtons, and two Wyndottes. Wish someone was close to get them.

Yep - We bought a irrigation system for the garden this year because of near drought conditions last 2 years . Have not had to install it .
Told the irrigation salesman "I hope this rain insurance works two years " LOL

It's just been a very busy summer for me too! We bought a bigger boat last month, so we've been kind of busy refurbishing her. And of course, there are daily chicken and house chores. Just been trying to fit it all in between fishing! Hope y'all are having a great Labor Day Weekend!
