Fighting the Rain and the Beavers

And no ---- no beavers have been displaced, moved, hurt, gotten rid of etc. Hopefully the irrigation ditches will be in place and the pond completed and all can live in harmony. This year in Green Country has been very strange. More rain than sun. A challenge to road building, foundation pouring and keeping everything dry and builders working. Verdigris River runs directly behind the property ---- and unfortunately beavers have moved in and built very well constructed dams across the back pastures, backflooding and wreaking havoc. And if removed, they have them rebuilt within the week. Would that we could hire them to build the barn. We'd be lliving there already. A challenge in this particular property considering the rain of this year? Getting irrigation ditches in place to drain the water off the fields, while keeping the water in place in streams, pond (one large, one small to date). Hopefully a five acre pond will pacify our beaver friends.
