Deluge

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday I could easily cross Red Rise Brook's exposed gravel beds, today, after last night's deluge the mild mannered brook had risen over half a meter and is impassible other than it's bridges. In fact, the whole nature of the forest had changed over night, every seasonal waterway and low lying hollow is filled, making paths you'd taken for granted impassible. And so it'll be until spring now, maybe not all the time, though for the majority of it.  All hail the seasons, I wouldn't be without them. As attractive as perpetual sunny days my appear, I couldn't and wouldn't want to live that.
