strawberry!
saved one little strawberry plant from big garden several years ago, and planted it in my flower garden--here is one of the first little berries on it this year!

cane tops in the blue
| 
delicate peach blossoms against flyaway clouds
| 
red haven blossom, white flighty clouds, curelean blue sky--God did good today!
|
paper fetching puppy on my route-he's sooo cute!
| 
can't remember the name, but the color is unforgetable!
| 
ruby red, sunlight gold!
| 
color like sunlight on a branch!
|
the road home, at last!

papa and grannie's

garden reflections

lemon balm pushing through winter's leaves

brown road-may 6, 2009
this is really a yard, not a little lake!
i drove down, and then back up through the water--thankfully it wasn't deep!
| 
brown road-may 6, 2009
another back yard--the water in the foreground was right beside the road--and to the top of the drainage ditch!
| 
brown road-may 6, 2009
i had made it through the water, down to where the subscribers lived and was coming back to the main highway--had to cross it, and do the other side!
the top of the hood of my little honda civic is in the bottom of this photo

brown road-may 6, 2009
here is a closer view of a back yard--that is a little storage shed, and usually it does not have water around it!
|
rifle lane
this one was just scarey!!
all that water is NOT supposed to be there!!
this is a paved road!
there are 4 foot deep, 6 foot wide drainage ditches just past the brick mailbox, on both sides of the road--but they were full, and flowing like a stream!
| 
rifle lane
another view of the mailbox in the lake!
this is the kind of water that has been on these roads off and on since saturday, may 2, 2009
| 
rifle lane-may 6, 2009
this is the opposite side of the road to the brick mailbox
that water was deep!!! i didn't get any closer to it than where i am in this photo!
| 
shotgun lane
this paved road is the next one off a main road---luckily i was at the subscribers drive when i took this one! no problems here!
|
rifle lane--after the water!
taken may 13, 2009, this is what it looks like when the water receded
| 
rifle lane--where the water went
may 13, 2009
this is a drainage ditch along the road that runs into the 'canal' on either side--this is what was left
| 
rifle lane--water beside 'canal'
may 13, 2009
this water was still standing on the land surrounding the 'canal' on either side of the pavement
| 
rifle lane--'canal'
may 13, 2009
this is where the drainage ditch drains into--a wide, deep, 'canal' on either side of the road
|
bland chapel road--may 13, 2009
this is what the road did when it was flooded--the water had filled the side drainage ditches, and overflowed the paved section on may 2, 2009---that's a LOT of water!
| 
bland chapel road--may 13, 2009
here is another view of the depth of the drainage ditch--the water dug the trench this deep--it was only a couple of feet deep before the flooding!!
| 
bland chapel road--closer view
may 13, 2009
someone stuck a branch in the hole that was left after the flood waters went down--the pavement just fell off in a big chunk!
| 
bland chapel road
may 13, 2009
the water had filled the deep drainage ditch, and overflowed the pavement--it's scary even with out the water!!
|
south kerr station road--still high water!
may 13, 2009
the water was still very high and flowing rather swiftly through the culverts on both sides--at least it had gone down enough to drive on the pavement!!
| 
poor ole horse!
may 13, 2009
this poor little horse has looked like this for the four years i've been driving past his pasture!
he seems happy though!
