The almost flood..

See the water filling the bucket.

It has rain approximately 1.7 inches yesterday and today which equals about 3.4 inches of rain in 48 hours. Idaho, Utah and California only get about 10 inches of rain a year, so we are feeling a little water logged, and so is the yard. There is just water everywhere!!! Today while I was down stairs with the girls I noticed one of the window wells had quite a bit of water in it, but it seemed to be draining. Then we left for the afternoon and when we came back not only was there still water in the well, but water was gushing in from the left side. It looked like it was going to go over the window well. I was in a panic. I called Eric at work, borrowed a bucket and started to try and get some of the water out. Then Eric came home and saved the day by digging out the drain. So crisis averted. 

The bad news is that it is suppose to rain all day tomorrow too.

I am just glad we are renting because this house has some water problems!

The drain! Yeah!!!
