The next day, as in yesterday, which was Monday, the lily pad prayers were answered with a record breaking amount of rain falling on Wichita Falls and much of North Texas.
Record breaking, as in five inches, give or take a fraction of an inch, depending on where you were getting downpoured on.
Today my bike and I returned to Lake Wichita to see how those parched lily pads were fairing after yesterday's deluge.
As you can see, above, the lily pad creek again has water.
Muddy water.
The flood of water appears to have taken the lily pads by surprise. This appeared to be the case because the lily pads are in a state of disarray, coated with mud, and floating a bit cockeyed.
Enough rain fell to raise the level of Lake Wichita, but not enough to cause water to spill over the Lake Wichita dam's spillway.
