I took the camera out with me when I did chores...This is what the Great American Desert looks like when we actually get rain...This is after 5 inches in about a week- and its still raining...Last year we got 10 inches total for the whole year.....

Looking south across the hay meadows toward the Creek (which I heard is bank full-- with a wall of water coming from above)...This is the route I have to drive to get another bale into the bulls)...

But this is what it can produce--By the driveway into the house-- Usually mow this for a picnic area- but may have to picket the horses on it...

The corrals are a lake...

Rain looks good in Montana, IMO :D ...seen precious little of it in the last how many years...the folks' place is dry and some ranchers around them are havin a hard time drillin deep enough to find a water source.

Nelson reservoir was precariously low last time I went by there on my way to the folks'...let it rain rain rain!!!

This much rain around here is almost unheard of....
In fact Grandma and I were just talking and it reminded me that the last time we got this much rain in such a short period (3+" in 24 hours and over 5" in the last week here-- some areas have got up to 7") was in Oct. 1986- remembered as the year of 2 floods-- and the creeks rose the Milk River so high our county road was flooded under-- and since she was due with daughter #3, I made her stay in town for several days....River dropped enough the night before she had her, that I drove thru the water and brought her home (to haul her back thru the water to the Hospital the next AM :roll: ).....

Creeks are really flooding- over some roads I guess, but they think the Milk is low enough it won't flood.....

Looks good to my eyes OT! I would take the 5 inches here this week. It seems that more and more of the dry areas are doing better, but I am aware a few are missing this good moisture. Been so little that we appreciate what we get more. :!:
