Drivinging south on US 441 near Gainesville Florida, earlier this week. We have had very few days without rain for several months.

Many farmers and gardeners have ruined crops. I have yet to see first cuttings of hay. The watermelons are delicious, as are the cantaloupes.

Deer and smaller wildlife are forced into high open fields or any place they can get out of the water. Often along the sides of the road I see them looking bewildered.

These photographs were taken as we drove over Paines Prarie it was so beautiful searching the waters for gators, and watching the storms blow towards us. We didn’t stop to get out so the pictures are a little blurry.

Well, we need rain send it to West and North Texas! Stay safe and dry!

howdy there @mother2chicks so you live in the Sunshine State! lol sad joke these days huh. I feel bad for you guys and for all the farmers over there, a lot of devastated crops! God bless you guys, stay safe!

How do my friend, we are lucky because when it is nice it makes us forget the heat and rain. Have to checkout what you have been up to. 🐓🐓

well you have a very healthy attitude mother2chicks!
I haven't been up to much, just a couple posts a day.
probably boring ones.

Be safe and stay dry friend! Although everything looks beautiful before a storm it’s always a tad worrisome for me!💜

I swear we have been having these storms daily for 3 weeks. The other day driving back from town, the rain was absolutely blinding. They seem to come up so quickly it catches me unaware. We don’t lack H2O these days! ❤️

So green! Poor bewildered animals :(
