We have seasonal WATER -- called a FLASH FLOOD

 Day one a foot of snow melted



 With in minutes our dry creek bed was full









 It breached the old dike a farmer had put in years ago











 Top soil carried away was not what we wanted
 A lake in the bottom field  filled as fast a we could back up






The house at top of hill
 Day two it was getting worse -- the waterfall was eroding the bank


 Day three it raged

The waterfall eroded about thirty feet from where it first breached the dike
The sound of the water was unbelievable. The force man could not stop. All the waters have receded now --  no harm to our farm. Just amazement.

Winter at the farm can be fun to 2/9/2014

 Bev went for a ride on back of tractor while I plowed snow.



 Bev took these pictures of chicken run fencing


Burr can you say cold
