Too much of a good thing
We'd gotten all caught up last weekend, everything planted and weeded. The last several days we got about an inch and a quarter of rain...just enough, and everyone was happy.
We got about 2.3" here since 1 PM. It's stopped now, but there's more on the way.
The other side piece on the chicken tractor cracked as well as the 2x2 crosspiece. Rusty caught the Silkies and moved them in with the White Rocks, where they have formed two seperate camps, eyeing each other warily. At least the ducks are happy; their pond is full again. And the tree frogs are in full cry. Half the garden is under water, and slugs are all over the plants, to keep from drowning. Half the elderblow is off the tree...hope they got pollinated first.
Good thing I took tomorrow off, though I don't know how much I can do. The CT has to be redesigned to shed water. I thought I could get away with my last attempt, but Rusty isn't able to dump the water as it amasses. Anything I do will add weight and shakiness.
By the looks of the news, I should be thankful that it's ALL we got.
