Rain was foretasted, but we didn't know how much we would get. On Thursday night, Luke and I went to the last 4H horse project meeting. Around 8:00 it began raining heavily. The radar showed it would continue for some time. I loaded the saddle and tack and horse in a downpour and was head to toe soaked by the time I got in the truck. I was meeting Blake so Luke could go to Blake and Ali's house for the night, and go to the pool with Bridget and Andrew. It was torrential rains as I drove the Bloomer trailer through Fort Dodge to meet them.It was hard to see the road and I kept thinking how ridiculous it was that I was driving in such heavy rain to meet them. It rained hard all the way home as I drove in my sopping wet clothes. We heard that Fort Dodge got 4 inches of rain. At home we got around 2.5 inches. On Friday it rained a little on and off and around 2:30 it was heavy rain once again. This time I was driving to Eagle Grove to pick Luke up. He did manage to enjoy a couple hours at the pool before the rain came. We met for ice cream before I took Luke home. IT makes me laugh when I think of Uncle Luke hanging out with his niece and nephew. Our gravel road was flooded over the road, something I have never seen before.
