Eight Days Straight and counting

Five Inches In Thirty-Six Hours!

 Eight days straight of rain.  Guess I should be grateful with part of the country in a drought.  Also, if your not getting the rain, you are getting snow, ice, sleet or all of the above.  The sleet/ice has been so close to hitting us here, but we have managed to avoid it so far.  I think back to the worst ice storm I have ever encountered back in 1993.  We lost a forest of pine trees from that ice storm, and it was not a pretty sight.  You could hear the pine trees snapping and breaking in the night; I never want to go through that again.

Looking out our kitchen window, you can see just how wet it is.  We live in a low area of a high, if that makes sense and a lot of water naturally travels over our 15 acres.  If you look way back in the photo you can see sage colors and then another tree line; that is the divide for watershed.  What is on this side of that hill goes to the Tennessee River and on the other side it goes to the Alabama River (eventually.)
Right now it looks like a river running right smack in the middle of our backyard!!

Petey wants to know when the rain is going to stop!
