Had a storm and flood Wednesday night that dropped 2.5 inches of rain in a short time. Had just cleared tornado damage on each side of hill on driveway the day before. Hill got covered in slick mud the was impassable. Took loader and scooped up mud and had 20 tons of gravel dumped and had to spread with loader. Lots more gravel coming today.
Youngest son and his fiance have been working on the creek bottom getting it groomed to the creek bank and plan to have their wedding under a maple tree on the creek. Son mowed it Wed and it was looking great. Thursday morning woke up to this. Huge poplar tree laying all the way across the bottom. Barely hit the maple. Where the tree is will be 120 bales of hay for the guests and a huge tent for reception on the other end of bottom.
Got to wait on the bottom to dry and get the tree cut up. Will have to leave the large end of the trunk and I told him to decorate it. The wedding is 2 weeks from tomorrow and you can see the honeymoon cabin overlooking the bottom.
Could have been a lot worse I guess.
