Sleepy Creek is behaving oddly. The tide has been higher than normal during most of September, but now all the docks are under water and we have a new pond behind the house! We haven’t had much rain for more than a week, but we do have depth, finally.
This is the backyard pond extending from the end of the harbor. It is normally marshland.
Here is Furnifold, Mama’s rowboat, with her bowline tied at least a foot above the normal dock level. If you click on the picture to enlarge it, you’ll see what I mean.
These show the dock in front of the old house, which is normally quite a bit above water, and the top of the steps leading down to the water on its other side.
