Well the river came up a little...

Well, it has rained this much before but I guess the ground was saturated, maybe some obstruction downstream (?), who knows....
At noontime last Thursday the Middle River that flows through the back edge of our 2 acres was at it's normal level and by the end of the afternoon the river had come up 5 feet to just crest the bank and provide this recreational facility for some passing ducks.
All gone now, but it certainly let us know that nature and our river are on their own schedule.
