Raining cats and dogs....

It is supposed to be the short rain season here...BUT...we have been getting more rain recently then they have had in the last ten years. Needless to say everything is a beautiful green...but it is beginning to flood (even our school). Nairbo does not have a good drain system at all so all the water is pooling up pretty bad. Thankfully the ground absorbs the rain pretty quickly, but it is really starting to eat away, especially the roads. The pot holes are getting huge making the roads even more dangerous than usual. Here are a few pictures of the flooding at the school and the rains outside. I wish pictures could show how hard it really is raining. It reminds me of when my family lived in Hoskins and after a hour of rain there would be about four inches of rain pooled up. We would run outside with anything flat and slide across the water on the grass. Unfortunately today I have to be the mature example and tell the kids to get out of the rain...but really all I want to do is put on some yucky clothes and run through the field...maybe even play soccer! :) Ok enough dreaming...back to work! Well, the pictures won't load right now so maybe later I will add them!
