...the lawn was pristine, the mums, princess lilies and impatiens were all happy, including the brugs... until ... BAM!!! Torrential rainfall that has turned my front yard into a great white water rapids area, and the back yard is a river, rising up to the patio!!! The pictures I'm posting are horrible, but I really didn't want to get my new camera wet. The water was right up to my patio, where I had gingerly laid all my potted plants down so the wind wouldn't hurt them. Talk about being completely soaked when I got inside. It's been like this for about 4 hours now.... I have a river coming down the berm behind my house and a lake by the patio. Anyhoo, just venting, and sorry about the pictures because they are bad. All the dark area pictured in my back yard (it shows the patio), is nothing but water.
