Aftermath 3 weeks later 03/28/04

The following pictures were taken 3/28/04, 3 weeks after flood subsided. Almost all of the ground is covered by a layer of new sandy soil deposited on the grass as well as large piles of other stuff washed down into the yard. The ground cover here should be all green, the white stuff on the ground is sand, not snow!
