This weekend brought heavy rains, and heavy rains mean our driveway drain can't keep up. We watched as the downpour created a pond out front. Gary pulled the grate off the top and started shoveling in hopes of clearing the drain. The other end of the drain was just as high with water. You could get lost in the mud holes here right now. We asked Kelly at one point if she could hold her breathe if she fell in. She just told us no and that she would drown.
Today was better for the weather. The girls thought it was nice enough to head outside for a little "nap". Although the wind made it quite cool.
With the rain we had yesterday Gary thought it would be safe to burn a "little" bit of brush. He headed out in the morning and set it off. After some tractor mishaps he pushed up the pile and had it in control. The fire was settling down. We had dinner plans for Eric's birthday. When we got home tonight we found that apparently the fire department paid us a visit this afternoon. Never a dull moment. Gary said they could have put out the smoldering remains by p***ing on it.
