We have major rain and hail. We do. This is awesome. I'm sitting out in the sun room and the sky lights have little balls of hail jumping around and it so pouring so hard and the the thunder! The bed right outside the sun room window is flooding bad. That has NEVER happened before!!!!!!!
Ed just came in. He disconnected the rain barrels because they were pouring over the top. He says 3 of my foundation plantings are flooded. It can stop now. It is doing more damage now than good. Oh no it has eased up and the water is slowly no rather quickly at that, draining. So glad I amend all new beds with manure compost and shredded leaves. Now maybe that long bed actually got some real water. Still raining but not as hard. I don't want to go look out my front window because I know all my beautiful peonies will be laying on the ground. That is only thing about peonies. They don't take to rain storms well and end up laying on the ground in the mud.
I can see from here the pond is near overflowing in spots. uh oh hope the fish knew to go to the bottom of the pond.
Guess I'll upload pics now...............
