Why I've Been Complaining About The Rain
This morning, although still overcast, it was not raining when I got up. There are still 2 more full days of rain forecast but I thought I would take this opportunity to give you some idea of just how much rain is too much and why it would be nice if it would quit....
I took this picture standing on my front step facing east. This is our driveway. This is our pasture. This is why we haven't been able to let the calves into the pasture to graze yet. In the foreground you can see one of my dead Rose Cherry trees. Both of them winter killed (waaah!) which has nothing to do with the rain but was a huge disappointment nonetheless because last year was the first year we got a nice crop of cherries off them. Hrmph!!
This is also taken from my front step, this time facing south. These bird feeders are only about 15 feet from our house. Normally this is all nice lawn. We had 3 inches of rain over the weekend and another 3 since then. Who knows what 2 more days of rain will bring? Nothing good, to be sure! Needless to say we have to keep a tight leash on the younger children here when they go out to play - I don't need anyone to drown! I sure hope your June is starting out better than ours! Cheers all! 
YIKES! That is a lot of rain. I think your garden has enough water now. Someone better turn off the tap!

Sorry you are washed out. It's raining here today too. However we have had rain forecast every day for the last 5 or 6, and this is the first time we actually got any. So we've been doing the should I water the garden dance every day for the last two weeks almost. Follow along, hop on left foot "should I water the tomatoes, hop on the right foot, should I water the flowers", repeat until someone gets up off of their butt and goes out to water the poor, 'relaxed' little things.

Safe to say I think I know where your rain went! *groan!* You're more than welcome to it! LOL! :o)
