What a great day for a walk...

Well, after a one day reprieve from the rain and a little glimpse of the sun, we are back to being soaking wet.  After receiving another 0.9" last night and into this morning with more on the way later today, we have no carts on the golf course.  Again.  Maybe the forecasts for this afternoon are all wrong.  Since last Friday we have now received over 2.5" of rain.

Nittany and I just got back from a walk to check on the golf course and to clear some debris off surface drains that were plugged up.  The puddle in the picture was on top of a drain that was plugged up with grass clippings.  That puddle is probably almost gone now.  I took a few other pictures while I was out there.  It's certainly not the most standing water that has ever been out here, but it's definitely close to the most saturated I've ever seen it.


Our drainage system hard at work.
