It's created wicked wicked ice up here and there will probably be flooding when it all melts in the spring. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you and yours made it through this weather ok, flooding is scary for me.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685436243608973979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-76181616484263284092009-01-09T19:28:00.000-08:002009-01-09T19:28:00.000-08:00Love your site.

I am glad that you are all staying high and dry, but it's still so horrible for others who have to move their livestock. We are in a flood plain here. We built up our house pad 11 feet.

Our pasture is always a lake after rains as we are in the middle of the drain off area. When I first came over the driveway used to act as the drainage trench for all the flood water from all the properties around us and that included running right through the centre of our barn. Twice the one year I had six inches of water standing inside the stalls and whole barn after the rain stopped. Since then over the years I have learned where to dig little trenches (and they are small and not deep) to encourage the water to run in other directions where it doesnt have to be through my barn and 99.9% of the time it works, except when I forget to clear the grass out of the little trenches and the water backs up anyway LOL. I am normally out there getting drenched during these times digging away frantically to clear the blockages.<BR/><BR/>You have my sympathies as there is nothing worse than dealing with the mud after something like this, no-where to put the horses, and wet stalls take a long time to dry in the winter if they dry out at all.<BR/><BR/>I hope all the other farms and smallholdings are coping and they can get back to some type of normality soon, take care of yourself, you have enough of your own problems to take care of and I would hate for you to overdo it. Wish there was something I could do to help.Lori Schmidt (LoriProPhoto)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01786227217137143996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-77367962686951410892009-01-09T05:18:00.000-08:002009-01-09T05:18:00.000-08:00I'm so sorry for the flooded out folks, and so gra...I'm so sorry for the flooded out folks, and so grateful you guys are safe.Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07331876220972088597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053415389447235937.post-24195306053440372522009-01-09T02:44:00.000-08:002009-01-09T02:44:00.000-08:00Very glad to hear that you and all the critters ar...Very glad to hear that you and all the critters are OK.

I hope that we've gotten through the worst this winter has to offer up.<BR/><BR/>I still have lakes (and MUD) but the pasture rivers are down to trickles now. I have no idea where the water comes from, but last year during our flood here those same rivers appeared again. Must be an underground creek or spring that just can't handle that much more water... Something.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad your water has receded and that everyone stayed dry.
