Rain, Rain Go Away

7 inches of rain fell here in a 24-hour period...killing our brussel sprout plants. Additionally, all this rain has helped us (re)realize how glad we are that we didn't buy that abandon farm property. Ever since the first time that we set foot on the property, the pond and a good portion of the land around the pond was flooded. Previously, we thought that it was super soggy because Iowa had gotten an unusual amount of rain this spring and summer. Maybe not especially accurate. Later, we were told that the field on the east side of the property line is slightly higher and may cause excess water (and probably agricultural chemical) run-off into the pond...therefore flooding the property. Hmmm - Yeah, we made the right decision.
