Heading to the High Ground

From Tuesday of last week to Friday night we have received a total of 7 & 3/10's inches of rain...and yes we flooded. It wasn't bad because of the drought quiet a bit of the water has soaked in...But with all the rain the low areas have filled up with water and the critters are headed to high ground...

We spotted this frog on a window Friday night...he was so cool. Michael had a great time watching him catch bugs and looking at the bottom of his feet through the glass.

Early Saturday morning I spotted the cow and calf in the pasture...Seems the babe had an itch...give him a few days and he is going to have a lot of itches as the mosquito's will be out...It's hard to believe it's been over a year since we've even seen a mosquito! I honestly don't miss them!

I took this photo Friday when it was raining...It seems every feeding hole on the large hummingbird feeder was taken and hummers were waiting...

And this is a Millipede and he scared me half to death...sheesh. I went outside late one night and just happen to glance over and saw him, I thought it was a snake at first, ewwwwwwwww!! Well of course I had to go grab the camera...

A photo of the hummers in the late evening using the on camera flash...Michael and I spent most of our evenings last week outside as our electricity kept going off...seems there was a tree causing the wires to arc and Pop! Off would go our electricity. Our Electric Coop guys would come out and search and search but had problems locating the problem...Saturday morning it once again went off and they spent most of the day clearing brush...Not fun when it's wet and there is 150 acres to walk and check...But so far so good...
