This is not a natural stream or creek, but water rushing down the hillside, just at the edge of the farm.
It has been raining 4 days, with a few breaks between each front.
The walkways, in my flower garden, are covered with water and debris that has floated down the hill behind the farmhouse.
The lettuce, in the kitchen garden, appears to be floating. And, Mr. Scarecrow, saturated with water, is clinging to the fence.

And when the sun comes out, the wild flowers will burst into bloom.

Goodness, that looks dramatic. I hope it lets up soon - it is good to see that Mr Scarecrow is still smiling though! I'm looking forward to seeing those spring flowers, I guess you are too.
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine...We did need the rain. I'm hoping to take some photos this week of the wildflowers. They are spectacular in Texas!
DeleteLook at the wild purple flowers. They are amazing. This weekend the weather is so sunny but today It's raining too. I wish summer comes very fast. This winter is so hard in Turkey. Best days..
ReplyDeleteNo rain today, but it is predicted again for Wednesday.
DeleteLovely flowers, Meggie. Hold on tight, Mr Scarecrow! xxx
ReplyDeleteMr Scarecrow has been through a lot. He may need a new outfit for the summer...
DeleteWow! You must have been in the middle of that storm that went through. We got rain -- but not that much. Fingers on both hands are crossed for a good wildflower season (and hoping for a great one).
ReplyDeleteI'm going to walk the pasture in a few days to see what is going on with wildflowers. Maybe I'll have some photos in a week. More rain is predicted for Wednesday.
DeleteThe wild flowers are beautiful.....I wish it would rain up here....every thing looks clean after a good rain ....unless like you it brings debris! beautiful post.....
ReplyDeleteSo glad you liked the post. Debris is easy enough to pick up...as you said, everything will be clean.
DeleteThat is a lot of rain, but at least there is a silver lining and your stock pond will be replenished.The wild flowers are amazing. I used to play in wild flower meadows as a child - now they are covered in houses, which is very sad. I can't wait to see your photos when the flowers are in bloom.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a shame when buildings take over a meadow. I'll be checking out the pond this week...it should be full again. You can be sure I will take my camera. I'm hoping the wildflowers will be in bloom.
DeleteGosh, let's hope it goes quickly, bet your heart was in your mouth but plants are tough old things and normally perk straight back up again. The wild flowers are gorgeous. Suzy x
ReplyDeleteI've had rains like this before. Being on a hill, it quickly moves away from you. The plants love it and will grow "like crazy" after this wonderful bath of rainwater.
DeleteWow - does that happen regularly? In my part of the world that would warrant a flood warning! Hope that your flowers hold on in there.. Jx
ReplyDeleteHi Jan....yes, it does happen a few times a year. It doesn't destroy anything and it is quickly gone. The plant life love the rainwater soaking.
DeleteWell, it certainly did rain! We could do with rain like that in the south of england, they have just announced a hosepipe ban. Thankfully, yorkshire, where we live is ok with plenty of water.Hope you get some lovely photos of the wild flowers that will be springing up X
ReplyDeleteHi Anne...thanks for looking at my running water. Everything looks good today with more rain expected on Wednesday. The plants are loving it!
ReplyDeleteWow - we are getting rain but not like you! Good luck...I hope it stops soon....
