News from our Crystal Valley...
✨🌿💎April 2nd, 2026💎🌿✨
Our beautiful Mohawk Valley is submurged from the recent heavy rains that occurred the last few days. Some areas received two and a half inches of rain! These photos were taken this morning, This is our Mohawk River beneath the Wind bridge entering Little Falls 🏞️
The last time we remember the water this high- covering the bridge pilings was the Spring of 2007, the Easter our son was born - 19 years ago!!
