Seriously OH? Not Again!

When I went out to feed my horses this evening, and as I was feeding Chance her grain, I heard this strange sound. I mean it has been raining A LOT in the last week, and the creek is really flowing right now, but there is no way I could be hearing it way out back. I listened.....and listened.....then I saw it. Darn it OH! Not again! Seriously? He left Chance's water on, for 8 hours her water ran and ran and ran. I looked around. Yep, Chance's pasture was flooded and my sister's boy's upper pasture was flooded. I ran down to turn the water off. Then I ran to the house to get my camera.

This is my sister's boy's upper pasture. There is never any water in this area.



This here is a little lower down in the boy's pasture. Again, there shouldn't be any water here.



This is Chance's back gate. It does get muddy here, but there isn't supposed to be any standing water.



Another angle of Chance's back gate. Goodness OH! Chance might be a wild Mustang, but she doesn't need a swimming hole in her pasture!



Everywhere outside the pasture's looks like this. Above ankle deep, and some area's are even deeper. Seriously OH, we are having record rainfall right now, we really didn't need anymore water around here!



Although the dogs really loved wading through the tall grass with water under their paws, we could do without all this water! It is flooded all the way down this grassy area. You just can't see it underneath all that grass.



Sadie is laughing at you, OH. She knows this isn't the first time, nor the second time that you have done this! This would be the third time you have left the water running, and yes, I am keeping count!



Oh, he is going to be in so much trouble when he gets home! As Sadie sits in water, lots of water!



Bailey was checking the water level in the bushes for me...."Yep, we have water back here too!" I was a little fearful that a water moccasin might come swimming out at me. Kiddin'! We don't have those around here!



I can only imagine what our water bill will be. We just might have to return that Blu-ray DVD player, new t.v. stand and 23" flat screen computer monitor we just bought over the weekend! Nah, I can't part with any of that, maybe my OH will learn his lesson this time and remember to turn that darn water off!

These next few photos have nothing to do with the water running for 8 hours. We have had enormous amounts of rain in the last week, with more to come all of this week. Is this really June? Our pond is usually half empty by now, with the creek starting to dry up. But with all the rain that just won't stop, it is really full and the creek is flowing like crazy.



Who would have thought I'd have a waterfall in my backyard?



Two waterfalls?



And Bailey is trying to be the stinkiest Aussie in the neighborhood by wading through the yucky pond water. Great. There goes my indoor protection!



And yes, I did call my OH and asked why he left Chance's water running all day. He said "Oh no! I left the water running! Darn it! I got sidetracked by trying to find a spot that wasn't as muddy to feed the horses and I came down the back fence line and totally forgot! That is the third time I've done that!" Really? The third time? I wasn't keeping count, was I?
