It's noon here and dark outside and storming - again. I've been keeping an eye out for a tornado all morning - even the chickens are huddled under things and staying in the coop and our GSD, Rex, keeps staring at the sky as if he sees a hawk but he's not chasing anything and barking - just staring.
It's been raining every day for over three months. I can only remember maybe two days in the last three months that it didn't rain. And by rain, I mean torrential downpour - water running under the doors into the house, ceiling leaking, pens/coops flooding. The ground outside is so boggy you sink to walk, if you don't slip in the mud.
Only good thing, our pond is filling again. The one that completely dried up and we lost all of our fish - because we had two months of not a single drop of rain and 100 degree temps this summer. Everyone prayed for rain and I guess the Lord heard and answered. It hasn't stopped raining since.
I feel for the farmers who must be watching their crops and livelihood die. The farmers in this area had total drought and extreme heat for two months only to be followed by daily storms for the next three months. And now our winter is approaching and temps are dropping.
Just seeing that one of the storms beat all my lettuce and young winter crop to pieces makes me really feel for the farmers and what they must be going through.
