Every swamp deserves a good boardwalk. Looks like the sun may come out for your birthday. Yee Haw!

I find myself “building up” these days on our side of the creek. Culverts are undersized. Drains are too little. Instead of messing with the grade, I’ve started building boardwalks and platforms above the ground to let the rivers run through it… Great entry.

Thanks for the comments, everyone. I’m hoping our house doesn’t float away overnight.

New Mexico used to get monsoons running through our backyard. Now we pray every time it snows.

Now that we haven’t had rain in a while I’m collecting sink water to throw on the dry flower bed out front. We’re on restrictions and can only water every other day at certain times. The landscape is crispy and golden and the livestock are having to eat hay. The guilt of using water was also instilled in me from visiting Central America and living in Texas all those years. Floors me that some people don’t care or just can’t find it in themselves to conserve when needed.
