Water, Water Everywhere

We had hoped JDK would complete the installation of our ceiling the following week, but it snowed and the installers couldn't get to our house. Kathleen, who lives on flat land just inside the Ranch entrance said she wasn't even going anywhere, the roads were so bad.

When we arrived, the snow had mostly melted, except for some patches. The roads were in much better shape. Unfortunately, our crew had been reassigned.

Juan, the property owner with the contract for road maintenance, was busy installing culverts.

He was working on correcting this area, just south of our driveway, where the road looked more like a stream.

Juan deepened a trench at the side of the road leading up to the culvert so the water would have a place to go. This gives you an idea how much runoff there was.

Washes were running all over, including the big wash that runs near our house. I hiked up to a spot I call "the waterfall place," which looked like it would make an awesome waterfall. By then, the water was just a trickle, but it made a lovely sound, like a garden fountain.
