New Year’s Tradition

Knowlesville Posted on January 4, 2008 by MattJune 12, 2019
Front yard flooded

Even with all the work we did this fall trying to prevent this from happening again, we were greeted this morning with a totally flooded yard. Power was off when we awoke, and when it finally got light enough to … Continue reading →

A Lousy Tradition

Knowlesville Posted on December 26, 2006 by MattMay 31, 2019
Flooding

I would have liked to spent today’s entry telling you about the nice Christmas we had. But in what has unfortunately become a day after Christmas tradition around here, our yard once again became a dumping ground for Williams Creek. … Continue reading →

Checking Out The Damage

Knowlesville Posted on January 2, 2006 by MattMay 23, 2019
Flood damaged herb garden

Artie came out with me to the front yard to check out the damage left from the flood. He didn’t like walking in the mud, which made it pretty hard to get around the front yard. This weekend I’ll start … Continue reading →

Loleta from Tompkins Hill

Knowlesville Posted on December 29, 2005 by MattMay 22, 2019
Loleta under water

Here’s the view of Loleta from Tompkins Hill Road close to the peak of the flooding. Unbelievably it got worse than this, but I couldn’t get out of Ferndale to get the picture. Mom and Grandma, this is the road … Continue reading →

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Knowlesville Posted on December 28, 2005 by MattMay 22, 2019
Flooding

I am really starting to hate the last two weeks of December, as it seems like the flooding just keeps getting worse every year. Our herb garden, our paths, everything that we worked so hard on this summer are now … Continue reading →

The Wall

Knowlesville Posted on December 20, 2005 by MattMay 22, 2019
Flooding

At our house the effect of all the rain was also visible. Fortunately, the wall we built earlier this year keeps the water out. Just when it comes within an inch of the top of the bricks it crests the … Continue reading →

Lake Rose

Knowlesville Posted on January 2, 2004 by MattMay 2, 2019
flooding

After viewing the backyard, I was prepared for the worst in the front yard, and found it. It’s been very cold in addition to the heavy rain, so we’ve been keeping our fingers crossed for snow. So far the only … Continue reading →

Same as Last Year

Knowlesville Posted on January 1, 2004 by MattMay 2, 2019
Williams Creek

You start a new year all positive, hoping it’s going to be better than the previous year. (Which last year wasn’t that great, so it shouldn’t be hard to beat.) For me this positive attitude lasted until I got out … Continue reading →

What is it?

Knowlesville Posted on January 18, 2003 by MattApril 18, 2019
Big Pile of Mud

This new feature of our yard is either: A copy of San Jose’s Quezacoatl statue. The result of having visions of aliens landing near some strange mountain. Half the recipe of a female mud wresting tournament. A brand new volcano. … Continue reading →

More Mud

Front Yard after flood

Here’s what the culvert in front of our house looked like upon our return from Mexico. It appears there was one more storm that dumped even more silt in our front yard. The culvert was about two and a half … Continue reading →

The Cleanup Begins

Knowlesville Posted on December 22, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Silt from flooding

We had a full day without rain today! It gave me some time to start cleaning up some of the mess the storm left. My first task was to try to recover the power cords for the Chistmas lights, but … Continue reading →

Got Water?

Knowlesville Posted on December 17, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Flooded Ferndale

I cheated on the entry for the 16th, as I posted it Sunday night. I stayed in the office after the parade to do the entry for the 15th. I’m telling you this because the events later that night are … Continue reading →

Ferndale Tractor Parade

Tonight was the annual lighted tractor parade, and like last year it was held in a downpour. But Ferndaler’s don’t care if it rains on their parade, they still have fun. This was my favorite entry, not only because of … Continue reading →

Lake Rose

Knowlesville Posted on December 14, 2002 by MattApril 16, 2019
Flooding

I promised myself a day off today so that I could put up our Christmas lights and go watch Katy’s ballet program. Heavy rain started falling yesterday, and it continued today. Even so, I spent the morning putting lights up … Continue reading →
