flood mode

we are once again on flood alert here in our valley.

it's not a comfortable head space to be in with the memories of last fall's devastating 

flood still a vivid and emotional reality.  the september flood, as we locals call it, 

continues to leave its mark around us with recovery work still in progress.

unfortunately, an identical weather pattern arrived yesterday and we have had

continual falling rain which is expected for a couple more days.  this rainfall will

add to the extremely high water table we've had since the september flood.  

 a problem.

but, paul is amazing.  with experience and foresight now, he has quickly

set up the water diversion barricades, turned on pumps, turned off the

landscape stream, again to use as a floodwater diverter, and is monitoring the house 

and property like a pro.  at this point, the back yard is only ankle deep and the diverted
water has found its flow just as predicted making its way through the outdoor kitchen

heading down to south boulder creek at the bottom of the property.
we've got this!
