Holy cow, it’s raining again. 3 days ago it started pouring. Our backyard is just dirt and we had 300 trees and plants put in just 2 days prior. Well, the guys didn’t finish and they left piles of dirt and manure everywhere. When the rain hit, the backyard got totally flooded. At 11:00 pm at night Ryan and I discovered Lake Tittycocka in our backyard! The drainage system was all backed up. It was freezing cold outside and pouring down rain like a motha fucker. Ryan had on fishing boots so he was ok but I had on flip flops. We had to go all around the property to look for the drainage holes so that we could unplug them by hand. I got stuck in the mud so many times that I ended up just going barefoot. We found all but one drainage hole and unplugged them all and built little rock dams around them and we began to see some progress by about 2:00 am. We were so exhausted and wet and muddy. We both took showers and passed out. Yesterday the guys came back to clean up some of the mess and I suppose it was just in time. The rain is now coming down again so hopefully we won’t have a repeat of the other night.
Well, other than playing in the mud I have been busy as usual. I have been responding to a bunch of fan e-mail so that always makes me happy. You guys are so nice and say such kind things, thank you.
I am not shooting this weekend. What I need to do is get on my exercise bike and get myself back into shape. I have about 7 big shoots to do this month. The holidays and festivities are over, I need to get my ass in gear.
I’ll check in later this weekend, unti then, take care and love ya lots!
