Biblical Rain

All of the many lawns at the park are mowed with great tenacity by our friend Bud. Bud loves to talk and tell stories but his favorite thing to do is prophesy Biblical Rain. On the prettiest day imaginable you can count on Bud to announce that floods are on the way. Bud went home for the weekend and just returned this afternoon. As soon as he arrived at the park the heavens opened and it started to rain. Biblically.

During the worst of the storm we were holed up in the store and I didn't have my camera to get pictures of the wind making waves in the pond or the trees blowing like crazy or the 3 inches of water cascading over the picnic pavilion floor. These pictures were taken shortly after the storm blew over after about 20 minutes of heavy rain.

In order, here are Lake Fighting Field, Lake Pond, Lake Corn Crib, Lake Three Bay, and finally, one area that actually benefited from the downpour - our newly laid sod.
