The Rains Came Down, The Floods Came Up

And Lake Delton drained...and several homes were washed away. Here's a link to a local story, for you out-of-towners.

It's so incredible that a whole lake would disappear. That much water is an awfully powerful force, and I'm glad I wasn't anywhere near it when it went.

On a much smaller and less distressing scale, here's what it looked like in our garden. This was before the last round of rain late Sunday. I had to empty the inches of water from our potted plants, but they seem to be OK. Surprisingly, it even seems that our border of baby marigolds survived.

And in the "mixed blessing" category: Josie goes home today. I will miss her, but not her hair or muddy feet. She's a sweetie, though.
