And, like that, it is suddenly really wet here. Since last report a week ago, when it was still near normal, we got 3.85 inches of rain, most of it from the remnants of Beryl, and rain is still falling as I write this. The river was high all of last week, and I can only expect it to rise quite a bit more after receiving well over an inch of rain since 4 am this morning. Our yard is swamped, with rater running continuously into our private storm drain only recently installed in the lowest part of our side yard. Plants all seem to be quite happy, growing tall, lush and verdant. We still are getting more flowers this year that in recent years. The mosquitos are finally beginning to quickly populate after a late start. Birds have been eating a lot out of the feeders in the last week or two, and raccoons and other critters have been enjoying the feeder droppings. There seems to be an increase in deer traffic in the last week or so as well. More rain is expected today and over then next couple days, I imagine the trend will be somewhere on the wet side for a little while at least.
