Okay, NOW there is a river in our backyard (when I say backyard, you must understand that we have a 5 acre back yard!). It's totally flowing. Elijah was just out there floating down the creek (the *new* creek) in our backyard! We are all *so* amazed! If I had a digital camera I would take pics for you all, but I don't. :) I wish you could see it though!!! What makes this all the more interesting is that this new creek is about 30 feet from our house, and the real creek (which looks like white water rapids right now!!!) is nearly 50 feet from our house. Scary!!!!! We are rather nervous, as you can imagine, since we’re hoping it won’t flood our house (it’s suppose to rain through the night) :/ But I must admit, we’re all pretty excited too! :) I guess Hannah told you all that we went out to play in it earlier (when it wasn’t quite so high) which was sooo fun! But freeeezing! :D
Oh, wait! I just looked and we now have 2 new creeks in our backyard!!!! The first new one has totally merged with our normal one, making our normal creek, like, 50 feet wide!!!!! And this is about 20 feet from our house!!!!!!! Whaaa!!!!! :)))))))))))))
And the rain keeps coming and coming...
