Rainy day at the lake
The days roll by and it is already into the first week of September. One of the Gulf storms is making its way through Texas. Rain is always welcome but it does create temporary flooding.
I have a lake in the back yard but that has not been a serious flood issue in the last 12 years. Not a very long time I admit.
The lake is basically a dammed up storm water ditch about an average 40 yards wide and probably 400 yards long with a middle dam creating a split (2) level lake. It’s more like a long pond. A walk around it is 0.60 miles. It’s a nice feature and attracts and harbors all kinds of wild and domestic creatures. Could it be Nessie’s summer home?
It does overflow its banks and has come up into the yard several times but the lake outlet is low enough, even if it overflows the road at that end, it won’t get to the houses.
This is a welcome relief from the month of over 100 degree days. The rain is making it 74 today.
