Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Psalms 127:3 KJV
My industrious boys decided that once and for all they were going to figure out why we have a stream running down the driveway, filling up the back yard with mud and standing water. They had heard what sounded like running water while up behind the outbuildings on the east end of the property. After some investigating they found a natural spring had sprung up under one of the buildings. The entire underside of the building was flooded and gurgling with a literal spring which flowed straight from there, down toward the house. Dad and I had a prior engagement and so left the boys with Ashley and Amanda and their new discovery. Three hours later upon our return we saw two exhausted and muddy boys dragging in as we were pulling in. They had trenched a 1 foot deep and 100 foot long ditch all the way from the building to the road where it could dump out in the storm drain. They had successfully diverted the spring away from the house! No more river running down our driveway! Thank you boys.. what hard workers.. We are blessed with such wonderful children.
The Spring originated under this building
Part of their trench
It has been diverted all the way down the fenceline to the storm drain
Grant shows us their work
Our big helpers!
The dry 'river bed'
