Our little corner of Texas floods. Bee creek runs behind our house and trickles into a large creekbed where we play in the summer. It normally flows into a good swimming hole and then tapers down to a small creek again and moves down to Lake Travis beneath Bee Creek Road. For the last three years we've crossed this stretch of road and looked at the dry rocks on either side, lamenting the fact that we couldn't swim, fish, splash in the creek, etc. due to the draught. Lo and behold in one week, the creek more than filled up! Seven feet over the road now, the frogs and mosquitos have already made their homes in this new lake. We went last evening to take a look. Now we wonder when there will ever be a day without rainfall.
