My yard is under five inches of water. The only footware is no footware...bare feet. I hate it but love it.
Oh, yeah...I used to live in New Mexico...one year we had less than three inches of precip. I do love that dry desert experience, tho...but this is crazy. It's stopped now...but it possibly the worst rain event I've experienced. (Iowa, BTW)
This is making me think of death valley in CA USA , and the Attacama desert in South America http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atacama_desert http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_valley I think I heard that it has not rained in the Atacama , in over 10,000 years .
Lots of rain makes lots of mud. Going barefoot in mud feels wonderful. Enjoy if you get a chance. We don't get much rain (or mud) in SoCal.
