You know you have had too much rain when you can raise carp in your hay field. This one, a six pounder, showed up in my west field by the house. No ponds nearby either.

We have lost several of our post oaks to uprooting. They are literally falling out of the soaked ground. This one is at the corner of the side yard we use for RUs. Took out a gate and the roots took out a big piece of fence. Literally missed the tractor by inches.
Last year at the end of April, we had a little over 8". This year it was 25" and we had 7" more by the 15th of this month.
At least the Brazos is staying in its banks, unlike several other rivers and creeks.
