Lake Champlain is slowly receding. After reaching a peak over 103 feet, it is around 102.5 feet today. It will take many weeks before it is under flood stage.
Though we don't live on the lake, I am continuously confronted by the flooding. There isn't a day when I go cycling that some road isn't closed, or a bridge has water over it. Hundreds of homes and camps are flooded. Our flooding is not as extensive as that of the Mississippi, but we still have a lot of damaged roads and ruined homes.
The Otter is starting to drop in level and volume. I noticed it was more blue than brown today, though the major tributaries (like the Lemon Fair) are still brown and muddy.

That's shocking to see, and I wonder how the farmers are going to cope with the problems they will undoubtedly face. Hopefully, you will have a long hot summer to balance things out.
Glad you stopped by today, I am slowly but surely coming up with a collection of favorite DF dishes, some you wouldn't guess what was missing ;) (Thank goodness for Vegan Cupcakes!!!) :D
