Yowza! Do you hate hearing how green and gorgeous it looks? Okay, I won’t say it.

The first few years in our house, we realized the grade outside our house was all WRONG, funneling water right into our foundation and flooding our basement over and over. It took many, many days of shoveling to dig and create trenches to carry water away from our house. Oh, and some sand and rock, too. Good luck!

Good grief that is wet. I can only echo everyone else and say – seriously seriously beautiful landscape though. I’ll send you a photo if I can upload one of my daughter I am sure EDS people all look alike. The photo of you is great.

The time differences seem to mean I am answering your mail as everyone else has moved on to the next post, its like a weird time warp. Thinking about it its probably got more to do with the fact that I am blogasphering when I should really be asleep!

Hoping the water recedes asap for all your sakes.

Bugger. Have you got an inflatable dinghy? Looks like you’re going to need one.

I will send you warm drying thoughts but one’s that will retain as much moisture as you’ll need!

Any way you can send that rain over to Texas we really need it and even though it has been raining it’s not enough to make up for the three year we have had without rain. Though hope you and your house can stay as dry as possible.

Crikey! I used to wish for world peace and ten million bucks when I blew out my birthday candles or got the bigger piece of the wishbone but seeing these photos and being married to a meteorologist means that I now wish I had some kind of invention that would suck up the excess water (say, at your place) and then put it somewhere where it’s desperately needed (like, say, the lower reaches of the Murray).

That’s not such a hard ask, is it?

Seriously though I hope that it dries out for you soon and that you have a good insurance policy…????

Oh my! I can only imagine what it’s like to live in a wet house. I hope for you that it will dry soon! (At least before the next rain starts!)

The last picture…I have to say WOW! The area where you live is just breathtaking! And are the dots behind the trees sheep?

I have to chime in with everyone else – Great view! It’s really beautiful. I hope you dry out soon.

Make sure you’re getting enough Vitamin D with all that rain! It’s good for happiness and not getting sick.

That’s a hard country you live in….I was feeling guilty taking baths when I knew you had to conserve every drop of water, and then a few months later you’re dealing with a flood. Hugs, darling – you’re an amazing woman and I know you’ll make it through with strength and grace.
