Water! Water! Everywhere!
Cobalt and I went for a drive this afternoon. Wanted to see more of what Mother Nature dumped on us...
The pic here is of a farm field near our acreage....

The wind was picking up and causing waves to lap the edge of the field...

Our school district has an outdoor classroom. The land was donated and the committee just got done putting in a lot of new trees, a pond (stocked) and a parking area....

We drove around a baracade to get this picture. I didn't get out of the car, but it looks as if the river is going to spill over the edge of the bridge and onto the road...

By the looks of the sky, we are going to get more rain. In fact, the weather dude is predicting another round of storms for tonight (not severe in our area) and possibly severe storms tomorrow night throug Tuesday...
