So it all began back on the 24th, when I tried to let my BeerAdvocate friends know what I was drinking...
...but I couldn't download the pic because my struggling USB cord finally gave out. I ordered a new one, and eventually received it- but the camera was working in the meantime...
We had a Storm on the 25th, so the next day we scouted for damage...
|
...but it had all been picked up for our precious disc golfers.
|
|
including rivulets that crisscrossed the trail.
|
|
Arboreal Ocean in full flush
|
|
Don't believe we'll be swimming to the End of the Earth
|
|
"Water could be a bit warmer..."
|
|
PFW has got happy with the bushhog... that USED to be my secret mid-trail pee spot..
|
|
There's something you don't often see in the Swamp
|
|
Later, the boys came over...
|
That Brings us to the 28th...
|
Beavers working hard here...
|
|
There was a BUNCH of ducks at the Duck Pond... and we scared them all off
|
|
Somebody saw the river was back down and had to get a drink...
|
|
...and made me stand in the mud to get it...
|
That brings us to Thursday...
|
Misty amongst the first wildflowers
|
|
First visit of the year to Scrappy's Landing...
|
|
Watching a squirrel way up the trail
|
And now, we arrive at today. Last night, we had tornadoes in the area- south and east of us, thank you Jesus, but we did get about 15 minutes of "tropical storm Martin". We set out to see if any damage was apparent. It was warm enough- around 50F- but boy, was it windy!
|
"Hey, I'm trying to shake, here!"
|
|
Our first surprise were the ducks in the yard...
|
|
I think one of our neighbors put a fake owl in the tree...
|
|
Misty leads us into the woods
|
|
And yes, it's a sloppy mess
|
|
However, no new damage...
|
|
...unless you count all the water
|
|
Misty explores a new run-off stream
|
|
Stony Run about as high as I've ever seen
|
|
The End of the Earth is about a rain away from being an island
|
|
Possible varmintage at the Swamp
|
|
Muddy Stony Run water, meet clear Canal water
|
|
Our little waterfall working OT
|
|
Those Dafs must be the hardiest flowers ever
|
|
Just after 2 ladies complemented her, Misty turned back to look at them just as the strongest gust of the morning hit. I staggered forward, she sideways!
|
|
Checking holes for further varmintage
|
|
Note to the guy 3 counties away who lost his dumpster: Over here...
