"The Rains Came Down and the Floods Came Up"




And it all happened in one week's time.  The first picture is from our neighbors backyard - They have a pond above them that with all the rain, overflowed into their little stream they have.  Then it flowed over to OUR backyard, where at one point, Del measured it was over 7 feet deep in our backyard creek!!!  It was unbelievable.  Del went out to try and shovel a dam here and there to allow the flooding of the garden to go down into our creek.  Our poor garden was saturated.  And all the rain caused quite a bit of erosion and so we have some concerns for our back lot past the creek.
But the amount of rain made the National news - Del took videos on his phone, but I wasn't able to take many pics cuz it would have ruined my camera...It was truly amazing to watch the water rise higher and higher.  Our poor chickens thought they would be changing to ducks any minute.
Quack Quack.
