Cold Rain and Snow

It has been raining, i mean pouring, for the last 24 hours. When i woke up this morning I notice the backyard looked alittle different. It was still raining so i got an umbrella and the dog and I went out to see what was going on. When we got around the garage i noticed the lower yard had about 5 feet of water in some places. We now have a lake!!! I waited until it was light out and took the camera out to take some pics. It had receded about a foot in the last hour but was still pretty high.

I never thought the water would make it up to the grapes. I doubt it will have any negative effects on them though. The pond project though needs to be rethought, as the water completely submerged the lower pond. Good thing this part of the project has been taking awhile to complete, now i will have to figure out how to build it up higher. Maybe I'll make it smaller and build up the sides more to make it deeper.

Atleast the fish in the middle pond are happy, If i would have finished the lower pond this past year like i had planned those fish would have been long gone. Plus all the nasty water would have been pumped into the upper ponds, What a mess that would have been. As i was leaving for work the rain had turned to snow and it was starting to stick.

And now its just getting down right nasty.

Anyways, its been awhile, I won't say I've been busy, just hadn't felt like blogging lately. Nothing really going on, just been getting ready for the winter. I ran the Buffalo Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning, and finished in a time of 32:52 which is a PR in the 8k.

Then finished the race off with 6 beers before the crowds came in and was out the door of the convention center by 10am. Then it was off the Mom and Dad's for Thanksgiving drinking, i mean dinner. That race finished my running year in which all 5 races i ran were PR's, I'm hoping i can carry this momentum into next year. Hope Everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!
