Water, Water, Everywhere

We got rained on in April. A lot.

Our little river swelled to impressive width - impressive because it hardly flows in the summer - but we didn't really have too many problems in our area. Other parts of central Illinois got hit pretty hard. I think Peoria had record flooding, and I heard that the Mississippi river by Quincy rose ten feet in 36 hours. Amazing that so much water can drop out of the sky.

Here's a couple of pictures from just down the road:

 The rive usually meanders through the trees in the background. Today it's in the cornfields.
