Wet Weather Spring

Monday 23 January 12

This is pretty interesting.  Photo 1 is of the wet weather spring in the distance.  Today was the first time I could actually see where the water is bubbling up. 

Photo 2 is of the spring I noticed first, because it is big and you can see the sand fountaining up from the source.  At first I thought it was a crawdad digging.

Photo 3 is a close up.

Photo 4 is an unsuccessful attempt to photograph the sand bubbling up in the spring.

Photo 5 is a view of the spring water flow pattern.  And yes, that is a concern.

Photo 6 is what probably started out as critter holes, but when you get up close to it, you can hear that just underground, water is flowing/trickling quickly into an underground pool!  Mike was worried I might sink into the ground when I was standing here.

Photo 7 shows some idea of where it’s located.

As long as the house doesn’t sink into the ground, I’m pretty thrilled about this.

P.S.  The volunteer fire department just came for their yearly donation.  I had been holding some money aside for them since December, when they usually come, and was just about to give up on them and spend the money.  So…last year it was “Fields of Fire.”  This year it appears it will be “Fields of Water.”  :D

    Or if there is another field of fire, maybe the fire department can find a way to tap into that underground spring to pump it out for spraying onto a fire. Or maybe not.

      Indeed. It’s freshwater too, unlike the well in front of the house, which is sulpher water.
