Pasture flooded, canals overflowed. It appears to be hip to waist deep. Knee deep water in the yard and we have 1 building with water sloshing in. Front yard has gone down only enough to not have water running across the driveway now.

Aww man, I wish we could get some of that rain!! My hubby & I keep watching the radars and it's everywhere but on us! (Here in Okeechobee...)

But on a better note, we have been doing some serious work out in the yard the last couple of days. && We are even finishing up our 15x15 run TODAY! All that's left is to make a few of the "toys" for the girls to have out there to hang out on! Can't wait to finish up & post some new pics!!

Hope everyone is surviving the tropical wave. Can it please stop raining now? I have QUICKSAND in part of my backyard. I've never even seen quicksand before!

Wet isn't a good look for the silkies & the big girls are mostly smart enough to avoid getting wet.

My neighbor asks "why didn't you put the coop down there?" & points to a cooler, shadier part of my lawn... which slopes down to a creek "well because if I put them there I'd have chicken soup." Turns out I was right! Plus, where I have them, a floodlight automatically turns on every night & I feel like that's a nice predator deterrent. So far, no night attacks/ attempts.

Chickens have given up, out playing in the rain.

I wish you guys could have sent some of that rain up here. We are barely going to get enough to settle the dirt.

We wish we could send you some. My top hen is on ebay looking for her size in rain boots. The others stole the neighbor's canoe.

Winds have kicked up nasty now, hope we wake up tomorrow to everything ok. Stay safe and dry tonight those in the area.

Yeah it's scary outside

I hope everyone is ok through the night. While it was not raining today I sterilized all of the food and water containers and got rid of the standing water everywhere I could to prevent mosquitoes. I made a few new threads today.

First, just showing off all of my birds
