Thank You, Fay!

Finally....

I'm not the best videographer in the world, but you get the idea.


And even though the water is pretty muddy right now, the creek is back up where it should be already. Of course, if the rain keeps up as long as they say it might, it will more than likely get a bit higher than normal. But thankfully it has lots of leeway.

Water, Water....Nowhere



Well, on Thursday a few clouds actually appeared. I was hopeful for a bit, but those hopes were completely dashed. Still no rain.



The creek that runs through my backyard is not very deep on a good day, but now it's nearly nonexistent. Can't even hear it any more, and one of my favorite things is to sit on the deck and listen to the water wash over the rocks.




And I don't know if it's the lack of rain or those icky worms in their icky webs, but my little walnut tree has lost every last one of its leaves. The larger ones are even losing theirs as well.

Sooner or later is has to rain.
