The bridge that connects our land to the rest of the world
We are on the verge of getting stranded. It has been raining here for 8 days! Our bridge is beginning to wash out. The water has been several feet above the road 3 times in the last 2 days. We just moved one vehicle to the other side of the road so we will be able to get out if the bridge goes out completely (Hopefully that side of the road doesn't wash out as well).
FYI, if molehills fill up with water, they become mudholes that will suck a rainboot in up to the ankle.
We moved the chicken tractor to a drier spot and covered the chicken wire "porch" with a tarp, so they have a place to go when it rains hard. They are still diligently foraging between cloudbursts, probably finding lots of nice drowned worms!
I'm glad our baby plants and baby chicks are so safe and warm indoors with us. The chicks are getting lots of feathers:
I planted potatoes almost 3 weeks ago to "grow out" some excess P and K in a chicken tractor garden bed. It was taking so long for them to come up, I was pretty sure they had rotted or been eaten by moles. Then, yesterday, in the middle of torrential downpours, the potatoes arrived! I love how potatoes come up as full-on plants, unlike plants from seed which emerge as tiny, delicate seedlings.
Wow, I hope you don't get stranded! Stay safe. Our potatoes are up too- the only thing we've planted so far and I did a good job neglecting them, so it was a relief to see them.
