Rain, rain!

We'd this come from?!?

I heard there was a chance of rain this afternoon.  Around 3:00, it started to get darker, so I finished up the sale things I was doing (sell, sell, SELL!) and high-tailed it to get Carter.  It wasn't raining when I pulled out of the drive, but it was raining so hard when I got there that I couldn't tell if it was or was not hailing!  I think it was!  I ran in to get Carter, and in the 20 steps, I was soaked, head to toe!  I wrapped Carter up in her blankie and we ran back out.  Of course, she was twisted in the blanket, making it impossible to get her strapped in ... my butt was soaked!  Not cool!  

We returned home to Lake Chalupa, which is better than the Chalupa Car Wash at the new place only because "Lake Chalupa" will (hopefully) be "Lake New Owner" and someone else's problem soon!

We usually get some standing water in hard rains near the fence, but the water backed clear up to the trees!  That's like 20 feet between the two!

All of our neighbor's yards and my garden were totally submerged!  Too bad no one's selling an ark at the garage sale!!
