We had what DR calls a Toad Strangler day yesterday. It rained all day and all evening. It really came down and between showers DR took a few pictures. Dooley This is the waterfall from our neighbor's yard to our yard. It floods our garden. This is a little water. It was about 8 or 9 inches deep. Our bridge actually was doing what a bridge is supposed to do. It has water under it for the first time. The petunias are looking water logged. Water on the other side of the bridge. This is where the water runs out of the yard into the lower yard. It runs into this alley and down to the creek. The creek had water yesterday, too for the first time this year. And one more from the front yard.
That's a lot of rain dooley. It's unfair that you are getting too much rain when other members are getting none. Maybe my rain dance had a few wrong steps in it. I must be getting it mixed up with my Riverdance routine (i'll show you guys at the next party )
Boy we could use some of that rain, but not that much! I have to tell you, I love your white bridge, it is the prettiest ever! Stew, I have the Riverdance tape! Well, where all the girls and guys are tapping their feet and it's sort of a love story actually. You probobly were not speaking of that Riverdance...
We bought the bridge at a yard sale a few months ago. Normally it just crosses a dry ditch that DR put there to drain the water out of the garden and yard into the lower yard so it can get to the alley. My niece dances Irish Dances. She belongs to a group. They have won awards for it. She is half British Isles and half Dutch. Our side of the family, my dad was Scotch Irish and my mom English. Her dad was pure Dutch. dooley
Indeed I was TGS. The Irish dancing spectacle. If you pause the tape somewhere around the middle you will be able to see a little dancing gnome. Guess what... it's someone you know Tap tap.
I'll let you do all the dancing, I am not graceful. Dooley your yard looks wet and muddy but oh so green. With you heat and sun I thought it would be more "brown" colored. Wannabe
We've had rain several times in the last two weeks so around the bridge where the water runs has gotten some grass. Along the fence in the lower yard is the flower bed. The flowers have also doubled in size. The corieopsis is doing great. The rest is just weeds that grow even without rain. dooley
(My niece dances Irish Dances. She belongs to a group. They have won awards for it. She is half British Isles and half Dutch. Our side of the family, my dad was Scotch Irish and my mom English.

I'm sure I spelled that wrong...hehe I guess I should look the spelling up but I'm always in a hurry. So I am to assume that Stew is the gnome in the Riverdance tape??? If that's right, how neat!
