While visiting our friends on Harbor Island last weekend, I offered to work on any jobs they might need help with. Chuck and I, with shovel and hoe in hand, excavated several areas to restore water flow to a spring-fed creek running through the center of the island. The work was less than glamorous but also quite rewarding as each section of the creek was reconnected and water gushed downstream. Today, Jeanine informed me that our hosts have named the restored rivulet “Carl’s Creek.” I feel quite honored by this tributary tribute.
