If the rain keeps up we're going to need an ark to get around. The last 5 days have been one rainshower after another. We've received about 7 inches, while other areas in Florida have received much more.
Our neighbor called yesterday evening to tell us that one of the trees in our backyard just tumbled into the lake.
Sure enough, the roots of one of the oaks on the hillside snapped right off. We need the rain, just wish we could have spread it out over a period of weeks. Oh well, my yard and I are both extremely grateful for this timely deluge!

It looks like you better start building.
I can't beleive they're still calling for rain into the weekend! Crazy! Makes me wish I had more rain barrels.
It is still raining here too!
It's been a pretty amazing week. Sorry to hear about your tree but the rest of your garden is probably really glad.
