Texas has had a gigantor amount of rain lately. We are all convinced we have been suspiciously transported to London, but the food still seems okay? Hmm…

I watched several times this weekend as the saturated ground pushed water up near the house. We discussed the need before, but of course were not quite prepared. Fortunately, we didn’t need the dreaded Sandbag. But, there were moments when a second train of showers may have made the decision less flippant. We are not quite sure how to prepare for this. Do we keep a pile of sandbags and fill handy? It wouldn’t exactly fit into the regular landscaping. Maybe we build a special landscape feature that would be our fill if we ever needed and store the sandbags in a safe and accessible manner. It seems like a reasonable option. I would hate for a few inches of water to cause so much damage.

In the meantime, our forecast calls for more rain. Whew. Checking my feet for spontaneous web toes.
