Bev posted about her creek a few days ago. Unless you live in a
place where you expect to get rain and then don't get it for a couple
of years, you can't understand the utter fascination with seeing
water there on the ground right in front of God and everybody.
Last year Bev and I were both in 'Extreme Drought' areas. This year
her area was upgraded to "Sand, dust, dead cow skulls, and buzzards
circling overhead". My area was not and remained for a second year
in the extreme drought zone.
Then the gods relented. It took four or five good three day rains
storms for the springs to begin flowing again. Then another and the
creeks began to come back beyond an ooze. Finally this last round
resulted in freshets springing up in the road.
The world is a very different place with water!
Yet with all this rain the creeks are just now up to their average
normal level. Here are some pictures of our creeks I took today, if
they don't open it's because the freebie site they are on has maxed
out its transfer quota, just wait a bit and try again.
