We're coming, Lord willing and the crick don't rise (crick is North Dakotan for creek). Well the crick did rise. Niagra Falls on the left is cascading down into the crick in a normally dry gully. Notice the hay bales in the other picuture and also the grand stands used for tractor pulls and other events. What looks like the crick on the right is actually a road under normal circumstances.
The good news is that we just found a sump pump in our basement. It sucks a substantial amount of water in a short period of time. It's definitely better the the wet/dry vacuum we were using. Everyone's basements have turned into wells. The water table is very close to the surface. Fortunately, we have gone three days with no rain. Thank you God!
In related news in the picture above I'm frantically nailing shingles to our shed in an attempt to keep it from raining as hard inside as outside.
Sunday evening we drove with our friends, Nathan and Marybeth Lunde to a farm an hour and a half from home. The farmer had set up two large tents. One was used for the food we brought (it was a potluck). The other had a stage and sound equipment. A small band led about 200 of us in a "singsperation". It was a super-sized worship service. We had a great time. Never a dull moment here.
That sounds fun, I love the beautiful pics.
