Still here and still leaking.
Yesterday, I took an early morning photo of North Fourth Springs as viewed from the south about 3 minutes after sunrise. Unfortunately, it was so overcast at the time that we could see absolutely no shadows when they should have been near their longest. So this was all I could do to show that the spring is still active. Here's what I got.
Today, I took another pic at about 4:45 p.m. This one is from the northeast. The shadows are pretty long and extend out into the street. There's a pretty deep puddle (lake) just west of the spring. I don't usually pay much attention to the water running off to the west because it's uphill, and kind of slow. But it is where the lake is forming. DeKalb already has lagoons and ponds and a river. I'm not sure why it needs a spring-fed lake, but it appears to be getting one. The spout of water pointing toward the street is approaching a foot long. I expect the flow rate is going up. Here's what it looks like today:
As you can see, we continue to be very water rich here on north Fourth. That's the news from north Fourth Springs. Ya'll come back now, hear? (bluegrass band breaks into Powdermilk Biscuit theme song)
