It's REALLY Raining

It is raining SO hard outside right now that I think the world might drown.

It's the first day of rain this year and it's really raining. I got to sleep in a little this morning because we didn't go over to work with the cows in the rain. I started working on website stuff this morning with breakfast when Everett called me and told me hes picking me up in 10 minutes to head over to the ranch. Really...? I looked outside and quickly realized that in my flannel pants and sweeter I was under dressed. So I threw on my work cloths and mentally prepared myself for a day of being soaked.

What we did turned out to be pretty fun.

We went to the Kelly Thompson to make sure the roads weren't being washed away and that the water was flowing where it was supposed to. Ev gave me a 3/4 rain coat to help keep my dry. We had to dig little channels across the road where the water was running downhill and eroding the gravel. We also had to open up the dams that are in the creeks so that the force of the first rain can freely wash away any silt that might get built up. It was pretty cold but seeing the ranch when it is pouring was pretty cool.

Now I just hope my space heater is enough to keep me dry at my house!
