As far as the flood goes, there's good news and bad news. The bad news is that the river is still mostly surrounding us. The good news is that the water is slowly, very slowly, receding. They (the water management people) are at long last able to drop the levels on the river, so we are getting a little more of our yard back. We are still using the boat to traverse the driveway, though. The other piece of good news is that most of the sandbags in our yard are gone. Yippee!! Because the water level is dropping, our sandbags were not needed, so they were carted off to help in the flood efforts elsewhere.
This photo shows a few of the remaining ones we kept for filling in some low spots. By the way, this is not how you build a sandbag dike. These ones are stacked like this just to get them out of the way.
