We're Overflowing

Probably because we had a record 10 feet of snow this last winter and because we've had LOTS of rain this spring, we are experiencing higher than ever water levels on the river and lake.  Rain is better than drought, but there is a limit.  We have some floating docks and we have some stationary docks that are floating that shouldn't be.  John has been putting boards to serve as bridges so guests can get on the docks without wading through water to get to their boats.  It's even threatening to overflow our boardwalk to the docks. 

Naturally we have a great mosquito crop from all the rain, but it has been cooler than usual too.  Just recently the temps are starting to go up and it looks like I might be able to have a tomato crop after all.  The blueberries are really enjoying all the moisture so we might have another bumper crop this year like last year.  We're trying to bake lots of blueberry desserts to make room for more blueberries in the freezer.   The sun is shining today and the flowers and vegetables are growing rapidly in the warmth.  I'm thankful to live in such a beautiful place.
