water ways after rainy days

It has been raining for a week and a half. the transition to the next season begins, the days are darker and colder and you can faintly smell fall sneaking in. The brook behind the shop has turned into rapids and overflowed it's bank. There is a small loop off the brook which has also overflowed. With the help of the 12 year old boy at the neighboring shop my sons discovered the loop makes a great water slide sort of thing. The water is moving so fast and deep that it carries you around and you can get out at the bridge, or flow under it. Our friends stopped by the shop to visit with us and we all enjoyed playing in the immense amounts of warm warm brook water. It was a very sweet day.
