A Lotta Water!


After several days of being trapped inside by the weather we finally ventured out today to see what the rain has done to us. It's been a slow soaking rain so all of the plants are OK. The accumulation of water is really seen along the creek. The little Orange Trail pedestrian bridge on the east side of the property is now closer to the west side. The creek was almost dry and now has been over 20-25 feet wide in places and is still flowing rapidly. The pier in the pond has disappeared. It's now 6-8 inches under water. If you look closely in the picture you can make out the shape. (And the beaver was out swimming while we were there.)

Wow! That's a lot of water in such a short time! We were just standing on the end of the pier a couple of weeks ago!
