Storm clouds pass over the town of Raymond, northwest of Racine, late Sunday.
We're OK, we're on a hill, but the fields around us have standing water in them and a road I use to get to work was closed for most of the day, yesterday. We had a total of a few hundred in sales at the Garden Center yesterday; normally, a Sunday in early June would see sales in the tens of thousands.
I'm sick of being wet. I'm sick of picking up blown over trees and plants. But mainly, I'm sick of the smell of wet dog, LOL!

Hang in there. It WILL stop raining. Cource it’ll start snowing instead.
I grew up in Reedsburg and my Mom’s Parents were in Wonewoc. I can just about imagine looking out my Grandparents kitchen window across the track towards the Baraboo River. That whole cow pasture must be under water about now!
EWW! Wet dog! Our kitty has the good sense (and indoor “facilities”) to stay out of the rain!
Daughter is taking care of my grandson today and tomorrow - Colubus schools closed for flooding, so she’s getting more time with him that planned. My son had a conference, and I got sick, so couldn’t take care of him.
FIL lives in between La Farge & Viola. Half of their land is underwater, but they have their home at the top of the hill, so they’re okay.
Sump pump ran most of the night. Sure is NOISY! We have an underground spring, that is only a problem in heavy rains.
I see on wkowtv.com, Sauk County officials are asking people to stay off of ALL the roads.
It’s flooding from Iowa all the way to Ohio. Portions of Indiana got 12 inches of rain in four hours Saturday. Rivers there are reaching highs not seen since 1913.
Stay safe, Diana!
I feel for you. Been there, done that! We don’t have any hills here, but pretty much everybody has a boat! LOL
I’ve often wondered if the reason there weren’t big cities, etc here when the white men came is because the weather was jsut too unpredictable/unstable. Maybe we’ve just been living in a fool’s paradise and things are getting back to “normal”. The natives were certainly smart enough—maybe smarter than we are!
