Weather here in this area is just AWFUL! . . .

I knew it was going to continue to rain for weeks, but all of the sudden this morning when I woke up our entire property was covered in water -- I mean REALLY covered, more than a foot high so far.  Who knows how high it's going to end up! SURE hope it doesn't end up inside the house!  But it already has already filled up inside the barn!  Poor horses!!  
 
You can't even see the sidewalk from the house over to the barn --
there's more than a foot of water over it!
And even INSIDE the barn there's a good 6 inches of water inside there already too!

The horses are hanging out on the outside of their barn porch where there's about 4 to 6 inches of water - but if they go inside their paddocks there's almost a FOOT of water up their legs!   Poor babies!

And our entire acreage is completely COVERED in high water at the moment.  The drainage canal running along next to our property is running over so the water can't run away from here any longer.  NOT good.

The entire back area has turned into an enormous lake.  That building was set up about a foot and a half high -- and the water is all the way up to the floor back there already!

Looking out from our front porch, our entire front yard is covered in horrendous amounts of water.  Those raised beds there by the porch are obviously full of water as well!


You can see here that the water is almost up to the foot and half high porch!  NOT good!


And there on the side of our house, the water is all the way up to the wall - hope it doesn't end up inside our closet over there!
Oh, and when we changed our home insurance we no longer had water insurance.  For some reason the new insurance didn't ask us about storm insurance.  So if our house ends up wet I guess we'll be stuck with dealing with it personally - NO insurance!  Good grief!  

Well, I guess there's absolutely nothing we can do - just cross our fingers and wait and hope that rain eventually STOPS!  Lets HOPE so!!!
