Rain and disappointment

So Sam and I went threw a Herculean effort to dig out the stream and the duck pond in anticipation of heavy rain and flooding like we had last year. Now we are in our second "rain storm" of the season and the skies have dropped nearly nothing on us. No rapids in the creek, no flooding chicken coop, no bridge under water, NOTHING! It is like building the Ark and then getting nothing but blue skies and warm weather from there on out. No that I want our farm to flood, but I want to see some running water after all that effort. Oh well.....
