Jumping the Moon Dairy - the next chapter

Hope you don't get any bad flooding

Yesterday morning I was thinking back to our snowstorm last January… only things missing this time are that you weren't here in NC with us and we didn't have a bajillion kids just born.

Well at least you can't blame me for the lousy weather; I did not bring it with me this time.

DH was out cutting fence. A neighbor put up 2 fences across the stream bed and it was causing a dam that is threatening to cause the stream to overflow a culvert. He doesn't have to use this road so he doesn't care. Another neighbor talked to him about it a few weeks ago but he didn't seem to care. This time DH was home and he saw what the fence was doing so when he was at the hardware store he bought bolt cutters and stopped on the way home and cut the fence. The funniest thing about this is that one of the fences is actually on "our" property if we get this land purchased. When that happens that fence will be gone entirely. DH stopped and talked to the neighbor again about the fence but he didn't do anything. It has to be removed or done correctly.

I love Mia!! How could you stay mad at a beauty like that? Alondra is a very pretty gal too.

We get hard rains, a lot of rain, all at once here. Roads and culverts wash out, a couple of years ago, a private lake dam broke on a road near us and washed out the road. Like you, we are high and dry, but we have to travel the roads that dip down in the creek bottoms.

This is my road two years ago and what we are trying to avoid again this year.

This is not the stream, it is the road. The stream is way to the right and on the other side of the fence.

I think you have TWO streams!

WOW!! Our public roads out here are like that, and this past spring we got 13" in 2 days time. The 2 fields that ya see in most of my pasture pics was a flowing like that paralell the ditch. It was as bad as I have ever seen.
Sure Glad the DH made it home okay, and sure hope taking out the fence will cure that problem for y'all, or at least make it Better.

This video was shot by a guy on his way to work, good thing he wasn't on the culverts when it washed out. This was April 2016, on a county road a few miles from us.

I don't think I would be sitting there doing a video as fast as water takes away road beds.
