March floods



On Monday i wandered over to the water garden. It had been raining heavily in the Portland area.

I found that the stream was flowing heavily and the wet land was flooded almost to the over flow pipe. This is the first time in years that water has flooded to that point.

Would anyone here be interested in this subject? Thanks for your attention. Mary
