Coudn't Find the Garden

Well, we had quite a hard rain that lasted maybe 4-5 hours. The garden sits on a 2000 square foot plateau that protrudes out over a 40 foot wide stream. It was a nice garden... Onions, peppers, grapes, squash, melons, cucumbers, beans... the regular stuff. Well there was so much rain that the small dam downstream couldn't process the water fast enough, causing it to back up over the little garden plateau. Once it receeded, I could see that the garden decided to go too. I found a stick, but I know there was a garden there before the rain. Maybe it will settle downstream on someone elses property and provide them with all of those wonderful veggies. I think I'll put my next garden on a little higher ground next time. Then we may just have one of those 100 year floods.

Later, I'm going for a walk and see if I can locate that garden, it must be around somewhere.

Barking Dogs

A few years back, I lived in a subdivision where all of the homes were side by side and everyone owned a dog. Late at night when I couldn't sleep, I would slip outside about 1 AM and it would be very, very quiet. I would make a barking sound and immediately the dog next door would begin to bark. This set off the next dog and then the next. I could go to my front yard and listen as every dog in the neighborhood began their bark. As quickly as it made the round of the neighborhood, it would all come to a stop.
 
If you live in one of these type neighborhoods. Go out and try it and see if it works where you live. There are no complaints because everyone in the neighborhood had a dog that participated.
 
Lots of Barking Fun to all...
