I use this saying often, especially now.

Our home is being surrounded by changes.

The latest change is a growing sandbar across the river.

The marina upstream has been adding many boatslips for renting.

We have watched the dredging off and on for months. The wet buckets full of mud rise from the water and dump the soupy sludge onto a barge. Muddy water streams off the equipment with each movement.

When things move water, water moves things.

The stirred up sediment goes with the flow of the water. It ends up somewhere else.

We are lucky that the island in front of us is on the other side of the river. Some neighbors to the north were not so lucky.

I hope the marina will do the right thing and clear the area in front of these piers.

Change causes change. Actions have reactions.

This last photo is a helicopter trying out the new sandbar. I suspect this will be a new hangout for boaters.

Here we go!
