It was as expected this morning. The creek had risen beyond any possibility to drive through it. If you look at this photo of Levi, to the left behind his head and across the creek is the marker for the causeway. If your eyesight (and my photography) is good enough, you might be able to just make out a one on the top. it is telling us that the causeway is a little less than a metre underwater. In front of Levi is the mass of debris that tomorrow will need to be moved. I made a start at it today but it isn't really worth it while it is still raining. If the creek comes up again, the eddy that forms will just deposit more debris that has to be moved again! We walked down a couple of times and drove down a couple of times but the line hasn't shifted much. We got 93mm or a little over three and a half inches of rain overnight, so it really isn't a surprise. It would be more of a surprise if the creek wasn't roaring.
Levi had fun throwing sticks out into the current and he is pretty safe with a whole landmass of debris between him and the current. Even better he even got to ride on the roof rack on the way down in the rain. He has had a very farm day and also an internal day. Apart from the trips to the creek side, we stayed indoors and played, watched TV and otherwise created things out of paper and cardboard. There was a large amount of debris left in the house after that as well but it will require much less back breaking labor to remove it! Tomorrow will be homework day and here's hoping that it will be a little less eventful than the last few!
Levi has been mostly making weapons and armor, the last few days. Here is his helmet/mask and sword and shield. I wish that he would put more dedication to his reading but I guess literacy is just harder for him and so he resists it. Still, if he continues on his path of perfecting weaponry, he won't need writing. Now if I can just stay sane in the next few days stuck in here!
