End Of Rains, Super High Water In Creek, Fungus EVERYWHERE, Finally Sun for Sunset - Tuesday
Finally the rains stopped yesterday. 13 of the first 15 days had measurable rainfall and it feels super nice to see the sun this morning.
It drizzled of and on for a bulk of the morning but not enough to keep me inside. First thing was to let the birds out and they needed feed which lead to me slipping on the ramp to the coop with a full open bag and landing really hard. I hit my shin on some metal from shelving which gave me a good gash that bled for a lot of the day. I was none to happy about that. A bit later I got the spa filling so it had time to heat up over the day. I balanced the chems after pulling the hose.
I had been curious about the water level in the creek and was not disappointed when I went down to the tunnel. Some of the highest water levels I have seen in the creek in years after the deluge of rains. 2 feet deep in the tunnel and lapping at our trail with the outflow. It was an inch or so from flowing down the trail.
Our small creek was really full but it has been way higher during snow melt floods.
Our little tunnel had me a bit concerned but a bit later I went and dislodged a log that was backing up the water and it made a quick exit down the tunnel and into the main river.
R was out wandering a bit and seeing the height of the water. The main tunnel under the road is using 2 of the extra tubes to the side there is so much water. There was this wild cavitation sound as the water rushed into the tunnel and exploded air pockets.
A bit later I went back to the creek and dislodged a big section of tree from the Y in the creek and had to help encourage it to continue to flow with the water downstream. It made it through the little tunnel then got hung up on trees on the downstream side. I ended up standing in the creek and soaking my shoes but the section of tree made it to the main creek and off under the highway. The corner downstream of the main tunnel needs some major work done this year to cut out a ton of tree sections that are backing it up towards the tunnel and the road. It will wait until the waters have gone down later this summer.
Back at the house my glycerin had heated up again and I got it draining. It had to hang overnight to let it drain out fully and today I will squeeze it out before putting it in the mason jars.
Once I had picked J up from school the boys and I went to the tunnel to see the water. They were both amazed at the amount flowing from the tunnel.
On the hill next to the tunnel sits a downed tree and growing from it is this huge fungus. It is over 6 inches across and like nothing I have seen growing here before. It isn't a lion's mane or the cauliflower mushroom and I haven't found it in any of my guides. A smaller one is growing below it but this is by far the main fruiting body.
Crawling up the tree was a snail and I saw numerous of them in the ultra moist area by the creek.
Just along the hill from the white fungus is a large grouping of these coral type fungus. There are at least 7 masses of it over a 7 or 8 foot area.
The boys headed back to the house and I went roaming the hillside above the house where I found countless mushrooms growing everywhere. I lost count of the different types I saw as there are so many.
I did a loop around the sheep pen fence line and in the process managed to find a small handful of puffballs.
Once back down near the house I found more for a full handful of them. I may try to cook a few of them to see if they taste any better than the monster ones that we had which were AWFUL. These smaller ones are supposed to be far less pungent.
It was cloudy all day long and it wasn't until soaking after 8pm that I saw the first bit of sunlight glowing on the tree tops on the hillside as the sun set.
Today is J's last day of school and he will be off early and R got up to go with to drop him off. It is sunny for once this month and I need to get the grass cut, weeds pulled in the gardens, the sheep probably need a new bale, then this evening is scouts.

Watch out for the human traffickers at hivefest. You wont know it until its too late. STAY AWAY! Beware, traffickers can be women or men! They will act nice until they dont. There is human trafficking going on around this type of crypto. I have witnessed it. They literally have attempted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem if you run into one of them you may want to immediately shoot them in the face. 187, annihilate, asphyxiate, assassinate, behead, bleed, bludgeon, boil, bomb, bone, burn, bury, butcher, cap, casket, choke, chop, club, crucify, crush, curb, decapitate, decimate, deflesh, demolish, destroy, devein, disembowel, dismember, drown, electrocute, eliminate, end, euthanize, eviscerate, execute, explode, exterminate, extinguish, finish, fry, grind, guillotine, gut, hack, hang, hit, ice, implode, incinerate, kill, liquidate, lynch, massacre, maul, microwave, mutilate, neutralize, obliterate, off, pop, poison, punnish, quarter, ruin, shank, shock, shoot, shred, skin, slay, slaughter, smoke, smother, snipe, snuff, squish, stab, strangle, stone, suffocate, suicide, SWAT, swing, terminate, torture, terrorize, whack, waste, wreck.

White water in the creek! Sure hope your shin heals fast..
Wow - can just hear the rush of water! And the fungi must be loving it - it DOES look like a lion's mane at first glance doesn't it?
You forget the Safety First thing or 5 seconds and karma shows up to remind you. Kinda like it did me on my Segway.
