Seems to be, lol! Unless of course it's happening on my birthday. . . .
On its way down now. Expected to crest in Franklin at 7.1' this evening. . . . But that's many many miles downriver. Sometimes (nearly always) it's good to live in the headwaters. . . .
Wasn't I SO smart to get water *yesterday*? (Always a good plan iffin you don't like muddy water, lol!) I don't mess with it when it's high. . . But that riverwall DID help, which is why I'm thinking about rebuilding it. This time, with concrete. . .
Water gathering
most days I wait
through blue and sun
till dusk
or even later
and the rose has faded
to lavender, to gray
some days, the sleet
has started
and the leaves underfoot
are slick with ice
somehow I'm never sorry
and never learn
one night I waited
till the stars were out
dropped the bucket into
sound, only felt the weight
of it filling
and the night full of stars
and the river full of stars
and the bucket full of stars
come morning, the coffee
is also full of stars

Wow!! Impressive to say the least.
Maybe a trip to town should be delayed a day or three. Water gathering as well.
Please be careful my love.
