Monday morning the one stray dog was back and there were NO ducks. We thought they were goners. Wednesday night 7 of the 9 showed back up. Don't judge my outfit. I had been dressed to go to an apt and run some errands. And then realized how QUICKLY the water was rising. I'm starting a new fashion. Brown Dog the water dog. Just a huntch. We won't be getting any mail today. All the water to the north of the road is covering grass. My yard. My driveway. Ben's garden. :( Monday, it took 3 steps for me to cross the creek and that included a sandbar in the middle. This picture is standing at the top of the hill looking down. Usually its about 30 or 35 feet drop to the creek bed. Today by 830 its about 5 feet to the water. luckily the new rock is keeping my yard where its supposed to be. At 445am there was NO water in the yard. By 630 the water was only on the west side of the drive way but pretty full. By 7am water was on east side of driveway. By 730 it was OVER the driveway. Last spring we had high water also. 1. It wasn't THIS high and 2. It came up quickly and went down just as quick. THIS is sticking around.
My friends, as I post these pictures it is still raining. Forecast says it is supposed to "let up" around noon and then more rain moves in. At least the ducks are happy.
