The River in flood
I've got videos of Willem and me at the river and then today when the river is in flood, uploading at the moment.
I just went down to the river for a walk. It was wonderful down there. I loved going down. Some of the trimmed branches and prickly vines got in the way when I was walking down there today.
I guess it was all the wind and rain lately. It was lovely to go down there today, such beautiful blue sky.
The river was up to the top of the lower bank where we used to keep the rowboat. I sat in the wooden chair and watched the water, the way it flows over the top layer of the water.
I always wondered why the ice has layers of water on top of it and it's not just flat, since water finds its own level and all. Well, now I know why. I don't think I can explain it very well, but it's very interesting to have figured it out.
I trimmed some more briars off down at the river.
I figured I'd better come back up to see Mom. I would have liked to stay down there indefinately, as it's such a wonderful place, with so much to learn.
There were two very tall shoots of bamboo. They were only about a cm wide, but about three meters tall, instead of the usual two feet little flicks of stalks.
