Flood, Reminders are Everywhere.

Three plus months after the flood, a common topic is still flood: recovery, dealing with and trying to move on. You see signs everywhere. Every person still has been affected in some way, whether catastrophic or in a lesser way. I believe that it is times of difficulty not the smooth sailing that unites people against a common enemy. Long term or short lived, these times of banding together can erase the lines of the categories that we think separate us. We truly become one people. A theory that is proved true over and over again by history. Enough reflection. Have a great day!

People are going into the woods and
gathering the stuff that the flood washed over the banks.
Who knows where this is washed down from.

This heavy log rests on the slender branches-a reminder of the power and craziness of water.


Corn was washed down from the grain bins after they burst.
Yet another reminder of the waters that were everywhere.

It was a nice little spin with Mary, my lifesaver,
who got me out to enjoy the beautiful weather.

Take care and take lots of pictures.

P.S. Washington Park club house is still standing.
We did not feel brave enough to go over and peek inside.
