Water seeks the lowest level and path of least resistance. That’s physics. The sort of science a person sees in daily life.
A spring bubbles up. Snow melts and runs in a ditch. The path widens. Another ditch of water is added. On and on and on until you get to a river. Then it continues as creeks, streams, and ditches add their offerings to the river.
At Trail of Tears State Park in Missouri, the Mississippi River has grown from a stream you can wade across to a mighty river.
Today we celebrate one year since publication of New Dreams, a sweet historical romance. (A Book Birthday.)

Imagine ferrying across this barrier in winter.
