There’s a narrow road that goes up and over a ridge called Hogback. On its southern side it looks down into this broad, open expanse of land. At one time part of the area you see on the right had building lots for sale. But in a wet year like the one we’ve had the land floods. Eventually the water evaporates or the water table subsides enough to absorb it. So far this year there’s still plenty of flooding. The ducks are happy.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day for those of the Irish persuasion. Erin go bragh!
Beautiful!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you too!
I hope the people who have already built here have a way to protect their homes. At least the ducks are happy.
Building houses there wouldn’t be adviced, anyway who would want to buy them with the possible of being flooded. Happy St. Paddy’s Day to you. It so quiet here, everything’s closed, no parade, it feels very strange.
Happy St Patrick’s Day to you, Kay!
