Rain Finally!

Yesterday afternoon it rained hard for a bit then slacked off to a drizzle. 

1 got 1.4”

The creek ran a little 

Then today it rained some more. Yea. All my clean clothes are still on the line. 

Today I got 1.6”. Poor Posie and Caramel were pretty wet at milking time which was delayed because of the rain. Caramel was the wettest so I’m pretty sure Posie wasn’t letting her get under the shelter. The cover came part way off the pop up that I put up for shade. I’ll have to rope it down tomorrow. 

Had a good size rattler by the front steps a couple nights ago   I think it might be the same one we saw a couple weeks ago. Trying to clean up the junk in that area so maybe it won’t feel so at home. 

A little earlier that afternoon there was a baby king snake

And earlier in the week I rescued this little rat snake that was in one of the Nankin houses and couldn’t find its way out. 

Really this is the earliest I remember seeing snakes in the yard. Usually they don’t start showing up until late July or early August.

Today I appreciate the rain. The plants are just soaking it up. I hope no one has flood damage and everyone is careful.
