Rain, Rain, go away

I made a quick dash to town tonight to pick up some things for some Bath Bomb Fizzys that I wanted to make and all the while my phone was going off for flash flood warnings for our area. Not again! 

They were predicting heavy rain and possibly severe weather and to be honest we are all getting pretty tired of it –

The farmers especially! 

This time of the year the farmers should be in the fields chopping corn for silage but this year some of the fields literally have water standing in them. If you want to see an unhappy farmer, you should see a farmer with his farm equipment stuck in the field. Yea, not pretty! 

So my mission tonight was to pick up some citric acid  for these bath bombs and of course where did I go? Well to the farm store of course! And while I was at the check out, we were talking about the weather and I mentioned that maybe the rain will miss us. Just like that and on cue – a huge thunder shook the building and we both gave kind of a smirky smile and said that it might?

This is how the sky looked as I was driving up to our farm. It’s pretty dark for only being around 5:30 at night! 20160921_172634_resizedAnd when I was in the kitchen making my bath fizzys, which is a very messy activity, 20160921_183311_resized it started to rain. And then it rained some more. I even heard later that one county not too far from where we live was 3/4 flooded! Now can you imagine that? A local county is kinda big and to have that much rain and to say on the news to stay out of the area- Holy Smokes that’s a lot of rain! 20160921_174122_resized

As we laid in bed tonight and could hear the rain hitting the side of the house, I guess we’ll just have to see what the morning brings. 

But for now my Bath Fizzys are done for a store delivery tomorrow.20160922_062052_resized
