We May Need a Boat!

We’ve all been doing rain dances here in Arkansas, trying to bring an end to the drought we’ve been in. The main source of water in the area was down over 16 inches, causing problems when the lake turned over, bringing odor and off taste to the local water supply.  Our supply of water is different from that of the city of Greenwood, and our problem hasn’t been as great, but we’ve been dancing our hearts out.

Now I’m about ready to ask that the remaining dancers give it a break. I couldn’t find rainfall totals we’ve had so far, but on our ridge line, our yard is saturated and has standing puddles. I can’t imagine what people who don’t live on a ridge are dealing with, and we have 3 to 5 MORE inches forecast by the end of the day Saturday!

If what we’ve received had been in the form of ice or snow, it would have truly been a disaster. We’re really lucky that our temperatures have stayed above freezing, allowing the precipitation to remain LIQUID. I never thought what a beautiful word that is before…
