Our flooded front yard
Jake going to save the chickens!
Rainy season is starting to come to an end, which means it's not rainy all day long but when it does rain, it is in a huge turrent, it feels a bit like being in a hurricane. The other day the wind started blowing and the rain fell so hard. After about 20 mins the road in front of our house filled up and water started pouring into our yard, pushing our gates open and rushing in (this doesn't happen very often, only a few times before). After this kept up for 10 minutes we go worried about our chickens, who aren't the smartest chickens in the world, they like to stay out in the rain for some reason. So me and Jake waded out to them and sure enough they were up to their chest in rushing water. So I had the fun of chasing them around the coop and handing them to Jake to put up on their nesting boxes to stay dry, quiet the adventure let me tell you! We were both total drenched afterwards..... we need to build our driveway up some more so this doesn't keep happening... The water level comes pretty close to our front door too.
Also, Bible class is going great at the Children's Home, we have it on Tuesday and Fridays. We had 34 children last week, the most so far, we are starting to get a lot more neighborhood kids which is awesome. We just got new benches made, just in time as kids were starting to sit on the concrete floor.

Too funny about the chickens. Ours go in if it gets heavy. Rue just came in and said Fannie bit her... Who knows what she was doing to cause that. My little chicken lover!
lol i completely understand ... my chickens stay out in the pouring rain even during the middle of winter, so always find myself out their trying to save them from their own ignorance :)
