Oregon rain

Rain.  We sure have had our fill lately!  It was dry for so long, and suddenly it started down pouring!  This is what our pasture looked like after just a couple of days.  You can actually see the current!

And in the middle of all that rain, we discovered that we had a leak.  This is in Nolan's room.  The paint had a huge water bubble coming down from the ceiling.  I cut a whole and drained it so it wouldn't continue down the wall, and called our landlord, who quickly sent someone out to assess the situation.
Turns out, our roof has multiple large holes and needs to be replaced.  The whole ceiling around the leak is soft, so there will need to be some repairs done on the inside as soon as we get the roof taken care of.  This is not the time of year to be replacing a roof, but then you don't usually find a leak like this until the rainy season hits hard, right?  Good times!!


In the middle of the multiple rain storms we were having, I must say.... there were a lot of beautiful rainbows.  Seems the weather couldn't decide what it wanted to do, so we would have these random sun breaks in the middle of downpours.  The sky would look black on one side of the house, and completely sunny on the other.... for about 5 minutes.  Right after I took this picture, we had another enormous rain shower.  Yep... this is Oregon!
