5-29-1



A very heavy Saturday night of rain, and an off and on rainy day Sunday had us wondering late in the evening about the water in the orchard.  We were not prepared for the amount of water on the road.  We had assumed that the water would pool for a few days  - being purposefully kept on the road and not in the adjoining farm by a berm of dirt and plastic.  This was the sight when we got to the orchard road.



The rain was not only on the orchard road, it had enough force to be
running up the hill and toward Dale Davenport's land.  



A look at some of the trees that are under water.  I wish I had been more observant.
As I climbed out of Bob's truck, I closed the door pretty hard and saw two
ducks fly away.  They had been SWIMMING in the water
that was pooled beneath these poor trees!
