The sump pumps


The river creeps higher. If we had any chickens left, they would be sleeping in the willow trees. There is too much water collecting on the wrong side of the flood dike. If the heavy rain hits us, we will need to start pumping it out of the yard and into the swollen river. As it is, the sump pumps have been humming every 15 minutes to keep the basement "dry." Dry is a relative term in these conditions. But everything still works in the house and we still have access to the highway. I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
