Sunday, June 5, 2011

The guys started building the dike around our house today.

This is the view from the field behind our house, looking south over the dike towards our house. (You can't see the house, but you can see Dustin parents' camper.) Click on the photos for a larger view.

The view looking down the dike towards the west, towards our shop and elevator.

I thought the dike would go just around our yard, but for various reasons, it has to be extended quite a ways on each side of our house. The guys are about half done with it, and should finish it tomorrow. Also, all of our grain should be hauled out of the elevator by the end of Tuesday. So, we are thankful for that.

No sign of water yet here, although things at the river are looking soggy. River depth right now is 23.13 feet, with a projected 24.7 feet by Friday morning.

With so many unknown factors, we're trying to remind ourselves that this is a great opportunity to put our complete and total trust in God.
