If you build it, rain will come

Hey guys!! Life has been really crazy lately and pulled out the vise and started cranking some new stuff out. I have several patterns I want to share and a spin on a couple classics.  Those will be coming up this week.  This post is to share a small dream of mine that came true.  Yes it was very small but made my day. I always dreamed of having a creek or river running through my property and with this in mind I made a small creek bed in my front yard thinking one day it will be a real creek. Well......  Yesterday we got a freak 30 minute storm which dropped an inch and a half of rain and hail in that short amount of time. The craziest thing was it was still kinda sunny out and 90 degrees.  Our street looked like a river and I got my dream of a small creek :)




Look at the above picture and the road!!  Little Crimson street was a mighty river


It cause havoc on some of my landscaping, These were 6 feet tall. I made a little oasis and that is the start of my creek bed fully stocked
