The Water is Rising

We woke up this morning surrounded.  You didn't know we lived in a castle on a hill and are surrounded by a mote, did you?  I'm sure there are snakes and other evil critters in our mote.  We are highly fortified!  No one can get in or out.  I'm sure we cannot order pizza.

This was our front yard about 24 hours ago

My beautiful lily even had blooms

No so much this morning.  Sad little plant.

It travels all the way down our street

As you can see - the water is a long way from getting in - but we are stranded.

We were glad the guy across the street finally moved his van!

The ants are trying very hard not to drown - lots of little islands in the water like this.

Our back yard

Fortunately when we realized the water was rising yesterday, I went to the store so we are all stocked up for a few days.  We are chillin' out - having a movie day - staying in our PJ's.  Over all - we really cannot complain.  We welcome the down time.

Not sure how much higher it will go - Black Creek is not supposed to crest until later today.  Until then, we will stay inside and enjoy our lake front property - for now.

Until next time....
