Like many of you, we have been suffering through the summer with hot temperatures and no rain. But, thanks to God and Edouard, all of that changed yesterday. God does answer prayers, sometimes in a big way. During the night on August 6, sometime around 2:00 a.m. the rain started and when it was all finished we had received almost 6 inches here at the house. It was a lot of rain, but even more came at the orchard. We got around 9 inches there! There was an advertisement in this weeks Hamilton paper that simply said "Pray For Rain" and it worked. We are very thankful for this blessing. We hope that if you were not in the rain path this time, that you will receive what you need soon.
This isn't a very good picture, but the water was almost over the bridge on the little creek behind our house.
By the end of the day, the water was down, but flowing swiftly.
The Leon River overflow was up over this 5 wire fence.
The Leon River crested yesterday. Muddy, but still beautiful!
This reminded me of Colorado, but it is a little low water crossing near the house.
Today, everything looks peaceful and quiet.

Wow! Now that's some rain! Thank the Lord.
Just don't try to ride your bike across the low water crossing near the swimming pool... last time I tried that I got stuck in the middle and walked home with squishing shoes and bubbles coming out the top of them with every step. (a little memory lane for you... i can't remember how old I was)
I just read Jeremy's comment and I had to laught out loud. The whole scene flashed back through my mind. I had forgot all about that. Thanks for the memory, Jeremy.
