I noticed yesterday that the wetland near Palmer that l2ride mentioned was really quite wet. First I can remember it being so in my nearly 4 1/2 years here.

The pond/lake on the south side of Bailey Trail at Buena Vista (in the eagle preserve) is also higher than I can recall.

And, I think most golf courses now look like golf courses rather than parchment paper!

I'm guessing better than 12" of rain here in Sunset Pointe. I don't have a measuring device set out, but I gauge from a WVLG report late last week that the neighboring Village of Virginia Trace had had 10" since Sunday, 05/17. Never have I seen such a lot of rain all at once, here.
