A River Runs Through It

I live on a hillside by a valley with a large 'creek' that leads to the Ohio River.

The South side of our property has a smaller creek that leads to the larger one 

which is why the pasture behind me is full of water.

It has been crazy-wet this Spring, and today was the wettest!

Even on our hillside I stood in an inch of water everywhere I went

for over an hour while making sure all the torrents of water 

went away from, and not under, the house.

It was also a good time to check trouble spots and make plans for improvements. 

(Best time to check where the water goes when it downpours, is when it downpours.)

After 5 years it looks like we've finally got most of it diverted.

I think we've had "lakefront" property more than not so far in 2011!

By the time I posted this the water was up close to the drive.

We'll see if we can get out for Easter service in the AM...
