2013 Was a Flood Year

2013 was a very wet year.  Flooding was at an all-time high.

The front yard made a lovely, safe home for many ducks!  And the lake revealed a hidden monster!

Most of my land was adopted by the lake this year.  The entire middle section was actually unreachable which gave the weeds and thistle a year to thrive.  It also cut the amount of lawn i needed to mow down by 3/4, which was a nice break :). 

After many, many, many, many delays the lagoon construction began, even though they still haven't paid for the land they are building on.  Work was scheduled to be done by late July, then early August, then end of August, then September, then before winter, and is now scheduled to be completed in spring 2014.  It will be interesting to see what kind of clean up, if any, happens for our land and yards.  Hopefully it all works out and we can put all this ugliness and pollution behind us.  Here's hoping for a toilet-litter free 2014!  Well, after spring, or was it summer, or fall...well whenever.

Starting Over

A new employee recently reminded me that i actually have a blog and I have not posted on it in quite some time.  It a new year, I'm starting a new life, and I have a new iPad so i downloaded the blogger app to see if i can get this thing going again.

Now what to write about...writers block already!?!  This is not a good start.
