dirty stream, saving and fixing things

Woke up to use the bathroom and sold have jotted some notes down but was too tired so I went back to bed, but here goes.  Was with my boyfriend and my youngest daughter, except she was much younger than she is now.  I would guess she was around 8 or 9.  We were walking and it was sunny and warm.  We came upon a man working a garden.  He had big clumps of flowers dug up and turned upside down.  He was sprinkling the dirt and roots with colored powder.  He said that it will make them turn beautiful colors and be great for decorating.  So we stood there and watched as he sprinkled and flipped them over replanting the clumps of flowers and just like he said the flowers turned beautiful colors.  He looked to his right and threw some weeds into a stream and said to us that he knows he shouldn't be throwing weeds in the stream because it will back up an cause problems downstream, but he shrugged his shoulders and kept doing it.  We looked at each other and without speaking we agreed that we should get in the stream and investigate.  The stream was rather wide and muddy.  We were in up to our waists and on my daughter up to her neck.  I was holding her hand and we were struggling to balance in the moving water when we saw a picnic table floating towards us.  I grabbed it and asked my boyfriend if he thought we could all sit at the table and have it float us downstream.  He said it was worth a try and held it for us to climb on.  I was amazed that it was floating and holding us.  He then climbed on and we all floated downstream.  We quickly came to an area where the water wasn't rushing as bad and decided to get out.  Realizing the all the weeds were clogging parts of the stream and made sort of a pool.  I climbed up the bank and help my daughter get out.  My boyfriend was working on clearing the weeds out when my daughter noticed a whole bunch of fish and she reached down grabbing one.  She wanted to save it.  He brought over a piece of netting and a bag to carry it in.  We walked over to where he was working a realized that he had saved a dog.  A brown dog medium in size, rather cute I thought, then the dog started to change and was starting to look like a baby bear.  He had him tied to a tree and he I felt he did that to protect us some how.  I was feeling really upset that the cute dog had turned into a bear cub and i wanted to leave.  We were cold and tired and it started to rain.  There were a couple houses close by so we walked over to see if there were some shelter we could use until the rain passed.  A man saw us and motioned for us to come over and said he could really use our help.  He showed my boyfriend how the water was flooding around the side of his barn and was getting inside.  As they stood there talking my daughter was hugging me just watching and I was thinking how clear the water was.  Then realized this man did not have any gutter system on the barn or his house.  My boyfriend agreed and they continued to talk about how to install a complete gutter system.  Then the alarm at off.
