I always wanted a pond [small lake] but I figured I would have to hire it done. Looks like Mother Nature is doing it on her own. This is my creek which is all Spring fed and usually just a couple of feet deep and 10-20' across.
We have had an extremely wet Winter here in East Tennessee, the ground is saturated and won't hold anymore, everything now is run-off.
The rain has subsided for now but the Weatherman is calling for thunderstorms tonight. Thank goodness our house is on top of the hill overlooking the Creek and the water has never risen this high.
The water will subside in a day or so when the rains stop so we aren't overly concerned. Worse case scenario the water crosses the road and we'll be cut off. The pantry is full so we will make out ok.
Looking forward to drier days though.
