It is raining, yesterday it was raining, last week and the week before and the month before and the month before that it was raining. Last Sunday and Monday were dry so the roofers were able to come and replace a section of our roof that had started to leak this year.....yep, because of all the rain.
Not really complaining because when it finally stops it is going to get really hot and humid which will be even worse.
The streams are all running, the ponds, lakes and rivers are all full to overflowing and there is a lot of flooding all over. Too bad we can't export some of this water to other parts of the US that are having drought conditions.
We are quite lucky, we do get some accumulation in front of the workshop and sometimes on the front porch but nothing serious. We have a sump pump and are able to direct it away.
The main gravel road which leads to our property gets washed out a lot especially on one corner before it gets to our property. Sometimes it gets flooded past our property. Sometimes it is pretty dodgy getting round that corner but the county does come and regrade it and bring more and more gravel. Sometimes we can't go the other way because of the flooding. I suspect that one day they will close off the road and do something to make it permanently better but will have to make sure the other way is not flooded or else we will be trapped!
So that's what we are dealing with this year.
It isn't the reason I haven't got any knitting and sewing done, that is another story for another day.
