When we got back this evening, the pond had risen even higher than it was this morning - and has now broken it's banks on one side - the area by the bee hive is now totally flooded. It WILL flood a lot more than this yet.....when is the question rather than if...we always get excited to guess as to when we will look and find the banks of the pond up the road will break and the water will come down stream to here and flood our pond. I'd love to see it happen!!! We just see the end result though. One year the pond looked like this and then we went to town for a couple of hours, came home and found the whole area and woods completely flooded :)
Over by the workshop is very flooded too as the snow melts and we get big puddles over there. Sam gets VERY excited about that happening and loves to make boats and rafts to float in them on warmer days.
I love living here in Springtime - especially after having lived here for several years and knowing the cycle of the seasons now....what to expect....when...how to make the most of it...and the memories we have of the years gone by at these times....and welcoming the birds and plants back too...and the other wildlife, like the frogs who are still fast asleep in the pond...
We are so lucky to call this home <3
I feel extremely grateful to live here.
