The boys were pretty upset yesterday. Some guys are digging out the ditch, clearing it so water flows like it should. This does tend to temporarily destroy the ditchbanks and, yes, make the water flow like it should. The problem? They don't like the water to flow because it carries their stuff away. Don't bother mentioning that they could put their stuff away. I tried.Anyway, I thought I was keeping an eye on everyone and really even thought they were all in the house when Morgan came in screaming. He was really mad that they were dragging his bike and shoes down the ditch into the water. I headed out to try to get the bike and Jeff was on his way over from across the road. He and Matthew got everything back and I went back in to tell Morgan. Mallory was patching him up and he started telling us what happened. He was riding his bike up and down the driveway and was really quite sure I knew it. Anyway, he saw some trees start to move, so he stopped his bike. The trees kept moving and then swept him and his bike down the ditch. He said he grabbed a tree on the way down, but his bike and shoes kept going. From that point on, he seemed really scared and didn't really even want to talk about it. I seem to get more and more scared the more I think about it, too!
