Do you have rain forecast for later today?

sure do TT, more rain forecast for later today and again tomorrow

The whole of your garden seems to be doing Lori's wet soil test. Lol.

Yep! definitely wet...

rain is back on again now, really heavy

What a year Eileen !!

Heavy rain was forecast here too but we didn't get it. It's been dry all day although with big dark clouds.
May come tonight.
I'm sorry you've had it Irish. It isn't as if we need any more just yet.

Raining here all day and cold with it! You look as if you have had more than your fair share hope it dries out quickly for you.

At least you don't have to water the plants?

The poor things are looking for a life belt 'cos they're drowning!
Think mine will be the same in the morning!It's lashing against the window now!

Hi guys, at last its stopped raining. aww Arlene hope it doesnt keep up all day there.

O No Eileen Poor U&Plants 2:/

:( It must be so awful4 u Eileen ,Ihad my garden Flood Last Yr &it all went in2 my fish pond making my Fish ill :/ Thats why its built closer 2my house now as it dont flood there:)

im def going to have to pave this area Jacque and put some sort of drainage system in

Itl be hard work Eileen but worth every minute im sure :) Where my large willow tree grew that Phil Cut down few months back it used to be like a Pond around there as the Ground dipped about18inchs so when i trimmed &shaped all my Garden Booaders i filled it in with the Stuff id dug out!No more Pond around the Willow Area &its all ready now 2 be planted with few Shrubs & Poppies for next yr :)

well if i dont do the paving slabs i will just have to start growing aquatic plants lol

Great idea Eileen lol or Make a BOG GARDEN :)

Irish ~
I guess your dogs are fed up with all the water ?
Are you forever drying off muddy paws? :o)

~Hi Eileen
It's not raining and reasonably mild this morning but filthy in the woods-very soft and squelchy and lots of slippery leaves!
A few dry days would be welcome!
Did your daughter get to try a Bahama Mama? ~

We have a gale blowing and up to a few minutes ago the rain was going past sideways! I hope it will calm down before I have to take Henry out, I hate having rain in my face. No gardening at the moment!

TT the dogs, the kids, myself lol we are all fed up with it

few good dry days would be great Arlene, no ciara never had a Bahama Mama lol

aw Spritz i hope that gale has eased off by now?

Hi Spritz
I'm sorry to hear that it is so bad where you are-am about to take the dogs out well wrapped up, and there is even a bit of a watery gleam up there. Although it is dry and mild there is thick cloud gathering.......When my daughter was at Bath Uni we used to ring her when it was pouring here and she would say-but it's sunny here!
I swear the weather changes the minute you cross the Severn Bridge!

Thanks Arlene - I took Henry out to post F1Crazy's seeds, and it actually stopped raining! However, the wind is screaming round the house and it's a cold one. I am sure it's changed direction since yesterday! I am still going to wrap up and plant my new Clematis, though! Next job was going to be leaf clearing - NO CHANCE!!!!!
I hope that Irish has it a bit better..... Do you Irish?

hi Spritz, its not raining and we even have a wee bit of sunshine

Where will Peter file this photo ?
Funky flooding ideas ?
:o)

lol TT

Oh! Poor things... time for some french drains! but where to drain when everything is soggy!? Have a talk with the weather man, Irish! keep an eye out for animals grouping in twos...lol. Was reluctant to "like" this photo as you might think I was enjoying your dispair...Not So..I assure you, decided that to "like" the photo would express my support and concern... hoping for drier times soon!...

On 18th Aug. 08, GoY got a new member called Noah.
