Gators or rice?

It’s been raining a lot around here.

Enough that there have been a few days were people in our department have been late or completely unable to get to work due to surface flooding. Kind of the tropics’ answer to the snow day.

Anyway our back yard is getting pretty badly in need of a mow, but I don’t have any intention of pushing the lawn mower around in the current situation where underneath the tall grass is a layer of water about an inch deep.

I’m beginning to wonder if I need to be concerned about ‘gators appearing in our back yard swamp, or perhaps whether I should be capitalising on this and putting in a crop of rice or cotton…
