The overflowing pond at Chuck's house (at right). View large and
note the trees and the stones at the end of the pond. There is a stream on the other side of the trees that flows to Collins Creek thence to the Waccamaw River and then down to the ocean.

But the stream is not supposed to flow through the trees and onto my yard as here: <http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=20726?

or here: <http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=20730>

But the end of the pond is designed with an overflow channel lined with rip-rap rocks. When it gets 3-4 feet over its normal level it flows over the rocks to the stream as shown here:

The rain started again but stopped and now it's only foggy. I think the storm is moving northeast fast enough that the additional rain clouds rotating around again will miss us.

I wish I could send some of this (10.4") of rain to Tina. But I know the tree frogs would object. When it rains really hard here the tree frogs can keep us serenaded all night as they sing their love songs to their mates. One thing's for sure. If nothing else there will soon be lots of baby tree frogs around. They'll grow up and continue the serenade.
