Farm flooding

I moved into the city on April 16, 2009 but as of May 5, 2009, I'm back home. Yeah!

Hwy 75 closed around April 14, 2009 but is now open again as of 08:00 May 13, 2009.

Here are some other collections of good Morris area pics you can check out:
Pics courtesy of Mervin Dueck and family! Their farm yard is one mile north and 2 miles west of our yard.
Pics courtesey of the Oak Bluff Hutterite Colony!
Pics courtesy of the Manitoba Government. I found a picture of our farm here.

On May 24, 2009, our friend Dale flew over again in his little yellow Ultralight and took some more great shots! Thanks Dale!

May 24, 2009 - Looking SE at our yard and Allen's. The River appears to be mostly back in it's banks again.

May 24, 2009 - Slightly further E than the above pic.

May 24, 2009 - Looking almost E at our yard and a corner of Allen's. You can still see some wetness in the lower fields to the east of the yard. The short white dotted line you can see just outside the north side of the dike is a large ash tree that floated in and Gord is sawing up and dragging back into the yard to use as firewood next winter.

May 24, 2009 - This shows how much water is still in the lower fields below the yard. The lower pond is now outlines again and the coulee still has water in it but you can see it's ourtline again as well on the upper left hand side of the pic. The Red River is mostly back into it's banks again in the trees at the top of the picture.

May 24, 2009 - Our side of the dike showing the large garden I've still not been able to plant. You can also see out dike is starting to turn green with new grass/clover/alphalpha growth coming up through the old.

May 24, 2009 - Here's a good shot looking north east. At the top of the pic, you can see the coulee on the north side of the yard is almost empty here.

May 24, 2009 - Look closely and you can see me in the bright green shirt and Gord in the ligher colored shirt. We had to come see who was buzzing us. You really need to paint bumble bee stripes on the ultralight Dale!
