Whew!!!

We can finally relax about flooding. The creek has dropped to it's normal sleepy pace - we made it through the flooding season without any problems right here! Thanks to good management the reservoirs and lakes above us were monitored well and the melt off from the extremely heavy snow pack was controlled.

This is the tree that I use for my "measuring stick". When the water was high it came 1/2 way up the picture.

Now everybody is wishing it would rain! Diane

Tammy@T's Daily Treasures said...: Ha! Isn't that always the way it is. When it's cold, everyone wishes for a bit of heat. When the temps become unbearable, folks are praying for rain and cooler weather. Glad to hear that the creek is back to normal in your neck of the woods. Take care and have a great week.

mudderbear said...: It's a relief to hear that things are back to normal. I think it's all okay here too, although there is a new thing on T V about Utah being almost the driest state in the nation. It rained tonight and it feels sooo muggy. There's no refreshment to it at all.; July 26, 2011 at 12:03 AM
