Rain for the week at this location was 4.61 in. making things a little damp and hard to slot a mowing time. Also keeps the wife busy vacuuming up ground water in the basement that comes in through cracks in the cement in places in the floor. We are on higher ground, so the only flooding we see is in a waterway in the field, just South of our property line. In heavy rains it will sometimes get clear up in the pasture almost to the wife's South garden for a brief period. Gardens are doing well this year except for both of the type's of beans she has planted which has never happened before. Maybe they don't like the moisture we have had so far this year. Crops, grass and everything else are looking good at this point. Made our annual trip North about three County's yesterday to spend the 4th with a classmate and some friends that we have been doing for over 25 yrs. Crops up there are a little behind us as usual. As we were a little early we drove around a bit before arriving and went to a very nice camp ground in the area we had eaten at last year. What a crowd of people enjoying the 4th, not my idea of camping but they all looked to be enjoying themselves.
