Since my fields are ranging from flooded to saturated and I can't get 
out with the sprayer I have had more time on the net. It is the worst I 
have ever seen. I have a 3 mile detour to get to town as my south exit 
washed right out Sunday night. I thought the north one was going out too 
but the rain stopped in time and the culvert was able to bring the level 
down so it did not wash over the road any more. My yard is fine but 
access to my grandfather's farm is through water. Thank goodness I got 
the last grain out of there a few weeks ago. Not sure what will happen 
for harvest but hoping the water goes way down.
All our excess water here runs south to the Qu'appelle valley and it 
takes a few days before downstream feels the full force of it. Water 
levels on the lakes are rising and there is going to be trouble there.
Here is a first hand view of the conditions around me as it appeared 
Monday morning when I was out in the rain.
