Water Water Everywhere

April 1, 2010 By Carole

You may have heard on the news that we’ve had a bit of rain here in Massachusetts. Roads are closed, bridges are washed away, malls are underwater.

You want some proof? Here’s my back yard.

Flooded Back Yard

Told you.

Heh.

    Please please tell me you are on a river that’s risen and that’s not just flood water. Poor you!

  2. Julie says

    Holy Sh*t! That’s a lot of water!

  3. Nora says

    YIKES! Stay dry, OK??

  4. Kate says

    two things: 1) are you on a river flood plain? and 2) is that your house? Nice deck!

    April 1, 2010 at 7:30 am

    Is the water rising? Will you be ok? My goodness, it looks like you need an arc!

  6. Brenda says

    April 1, 2010 at 7:32 am

    It’s all so crazy! We have similar flooding up in Maine, but my backyard is looking nothing like that! Stay dry,

  7. Dave Daniels says

    April 1, 2010 at 7:39 am

    Wow, you’ve got some picturesque waterfront property. I hope it drains quickly.

  8. Beth says

    April 1, 2010 at 7:41 am

    I was wondering yesterday if you had been affected. I guess so! I hope it doesn’t come up any higher.

  9. margene says

    April 1, 2010 at 7:48 am

    Hey! I don’t remember you having a gazebo. hmmmm

  10. Anne says

    April 1, 2010 at 8:08 am

    Yikes! Hope you and Dale stay safe tho. It’s scary!

  11. Jo-Ann says

    Well, you always wanted to live at the beach, right? Happy Day!

  12. Joansie says

    April 1, 2010 at 8:23 am

    Stay safe. My daughters live in Rhode Island and it’s really tough in their area.

  13. Kim says

    🙁

  14. Donna says

    April 1, 2010 at 8:49 am

    No complaints here in RI – only 1/2″ water in the basement. The stream in the back yard never overflowed. The water stayed in the bay. All good. Just don’t ask about my 1.5 hour commute to Bristol on Tuesday (usually a 20 min. ride – yeah, good times).

    And just think about all the mosquitos we will have this summer. Oy.

    Stay safe!

    Happy April 1st, Carole. 😉

  16. Sue says

    April 1, 2010 at 10:00 am

    Wow, I hope the water isn’t coming into your house. Is it too late to sandbag?

  17. Kathode Ray Tube says

    April 1, 2010 at 10:40 am

    Yeesh. That’s a lot of water. I have never seen so many hoses coming out of people’s driveways as I have lately.

  18. Kathode Ray Tube says

    I am such a gulli-bull.

    Is this an April Fool’s joke?

    April fools. It’s Cranbrook tea house

  21. Teyani says

    April 1, 2010 at 11:28 am

    oh my.. noah, get the ark ready… seriously.. are you okay?

  22. Knitnana says

    April 1, 2010 at 11:51 am

    I’ve lived through a “100 year flood” and that’s no fun. But this? Unimaginable!
    Stay very safe!
    (((Hugs)))

  23. Kitten says

    April 1, 2010 at 12:10 pm

    holy crap, woman, you leave all that water just lying around?

  24. Kitten says

    April 1, 2010 at 12:10 pm

    and also, that’s what you get for calling your last post “ply me a river”

  25. Sue says

    April 1, 2010 at 12:58 pm

    Hee Hee. I think you should still sandbag your house as punishment for playing an April Fool’s joke on us.

  26. Cookie says

    April 1, 2010 at 3:10 pm

    Show off. :p

  27. elizabeth says

    April 1, 2010 at 3:17 pm

  28. Stephanie says

    April 1, 2010 at 5:28 pm

    Holy sh*t! That’s a whole lot of water. Be safe. And stay dry.

  29. Lucia says

    April 1, 2010 at 5:43 pm

    Is that your house? On the upside, we get a few more weeks to file our taxes. (Really. Until May 11. No April foolin’.)

  30. Laurie says

    April 1, 2010 at 6:13 pm

    Wish I could say my hour and a half commute through all the detours is an April Fools joke.

  31. Manise says

    April 1, 2010 at 6:25 pm

    Nice second house you have there-lol! Looks like you fooled many!

  32. Sara says

    April 1, 2010 at 6:38 pm

    WOW – I didn’t realize your yard looked like that. Hope it receeds soon!!!

  33. Norma says

    April 1, 2010 at 11:19 pm

    Ruh-roh. I hope your house is higher than the one in the photo. Is your house in any danger? Here’s hoping the water goes downdowndown soonsoonsoon.

  35. Judy says

    April 1, 2010 at 11:22 pm

    Even if that isn’t your backyard, it looks like that water wise around here. Spent two hours this morning trying to map out routes of roads that were open for the service techs. Can’t get there from here sort of thing. Wish the DOT would stay up to date with the road reports.. 16 hours old is a lot.

  36. Kirsten says

    April 2, 2010 at 10:44 am

    Oh Carol! I hope you haven’t had any major damage as a result of the flooding. Thinking dry thoughts for you.

  37. kathy b says

    April 3, 2010 at 10:20 am

    That really showed it. Stay high and dry.

  38. Helen says

    I hope your home has stayed dry. Hugs.

    Did you know your house was waterfront, or was it a surprise? 😉

This loaf took about 24 hours from start to finish, it was sluggish at first so I waited patiently and adjusted my timeline. It rested in the banneton on the kitchen windowsill overnight and I baked it when I got up this morning. Oven spring was impressive, it’s got a good ear and a nice open crumb. It tastes good, too! #sourdoughbread #sourdoughbaking #lookatthatear #nicecrumb #ovenspring #homemadeisbest #breadforbreakfast #morningbaking #the100dayproject #100daysofiphonephotos
