I got all excited that it hadn't rained for two days and decided to work on some fences. It was a real short trip. Hopefully it drives right out in a couple days.

You need a set of tracks! You'll be amazed.
That sounds like us 2 years ago except we got rain thru March then nothing more than a dust settler till end of Sept. Pastures all dried up to consistency of hay (what little grass was left that is). Last year was a bit dry but not so much that we needed to turn the sprinklers on for more than about 3 times. This year I have had to mow my yard with water standing in the lower areas. Springs are pouring constantly out of every hill like a 3/4" water hose running constantly. I finally had to get out the rubber boots and weed eater to do the area where the pond over flow run off goes since it has been constantly flowing all winter and spring. It has been so much runoff and so fast that I now have a natural drain ditch where I normally just had a widely spreading bunch of water that would run for a few days and then dry up.Well, that first rain I mentioned above has been going for about 24 hours. It was a real downpour yesterday afternoon, and is still drizzling a little now. Rain gauge shows 2 1/8 inches in 24 hours. Looks like we'll have another 24 hours to go. I'm good with that....finally. We had no rain in April, no rain in May until the last day. I hope that's not a trend.
