Rainy valley diary and river flood scene photos in 19th century style
A vivid field notebook records a weekend of heavy rain soaking gardens and streams. The author describes flooded bottomlands, drifting debris from whiskey bottles to a coffee grinder, and wildlife images including indigo bunting and yellowthroat. He notes mosquitoes, a singing barn bird, and local social updates from the Berringer and Langham families in Indiana and nearby towns.
