Hurricane Zeta brought a ton of rain. Everyone looked miserable out there.
Everything was underwater.
Somehow, we've lose enough dirt that the water flooded into the boys area. Carrie pulled them once the rain stopped to let it drain some.
The rain affected our little world, but there was a bigger shift going on: Three school districts in VA closed their doors and said, "We're doing it online till the rains pass."
Are school cancellations a thing of the past? Snow days a glory of yore?
I think the headlines are a sneak peek at the 'new normal.' There will still be kids who play hooky when snow falls. Shane might even be one of them, but as a teacher I'm sure I'll be sitting in front of my computer.
The rain took over a day to drain from the pastures. A river ran through Maddy's lot.
I rescued a few earthworms caught in the current. I think Carrie said we got over 5 inches of precipitation.
Two days later, there were pools of water just off the soccer field at Shane's final game!
I'm sure the ground squished as the kids ran!
