Houses didn't collapse into draining lakes around here, but things weren't quite right with a few objects al fresco.
A picnic table submerged in water is just what those upstart ducks need. And remember boys and girls, don't eat lunch at Mendota Park in sandals—a Lake Mendota duck will nibble your toes. And now that the picnic tables are a bit moist, you're bait.
Is that where I left the Raspberry Cheesecake ice cream?
Let's have another look.Can anyone resist a Doberman in sunglasses?
Cheesecake swimming in raspberry ice cream (swimming in Lake Mendota). Mmm, melty.
Back in my freezer you go, prodigal ice cream.
Does anyone remember where we parked the car?
The parking lot belongs to Them! now.
Has Yo Jimbo been here?
I have not experienced the flooding but it has to be horrible. I remember the flood (in MO) of 93 shutting down highways and such but apparently this one has shut down part of the Interstate! Amazing!
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, BIG differences in TX and WI. I love the weather up here, hated it there and here things are all northwoodsie, down there all cowboyie. :)
I see it on MSN, but it's more up close and personal when you share pictures. (of ice cream,lol!!) (and ducks)
ReplyDeleteschool of medicinanmom?
(that's a real good name!)
Hey,those tadpoles seem to like the hard stuff better than I do?
ReplyDeleteI bet that makes em feel froggy!
Cute Dobie!
We have been seeing this on the news and its awful. (not the ice cream, the flooding..lol)
ReplyDeleteYou are lucky it didn't get to you!
Hope you're feeling better, Jodi woman. We didn't get it too bad in comparison.
ReplyDeleteThe Dobi's name is Cash. He was being socialized at a restaurant on the square. The whole thing was very European.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Feathers, we're lucky it stopped raining or we'd be in for a real taste.
ReplyDeleteWe need more rain here, there is nothing like a good rain to make your garden look pretty. Watering from a water hose is just not the same. I know you guys are sick of rain! Send some to Tennessee..:)
ReplyDeleteYou're right about the plants, I have things growing on my porch that started up on their own, Feathers.
ReplyDeleteSince I've ignored my garden completely, not knowing if I'll have to move or not, I'm calling it my "You're On Your Own" garden.
The grass is always greener, eh?
I knew Ice Cream had magical powers. Survivor Ice cream!!! But seriously--sheesh. The flooding looks really terrible. I was just at an art fair in Brooklyn as a vendor (did I mention it was an outdoor affair?) and got totally flooded on. So me and the cheesecake ice cream...survivors!
ReplyDeleteThat's A LOT of water!!!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, Spy (you're like April Dancer), it does have magical powers. The power to completely blow your diet. So do cannolis. You're posts just kill me!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know Brooklyn had that kind of trouble as well. They have enough problems.
I'm still thinking about Caputo's and Juanito's.
C., that's nothing. Got detoured home, but next stop is the P.O.
ReplyDeleteWoW...we've been suffering from fires 'round here...could use a little of that rain...and ice cream.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're OK!!!
Are you flame redardant, Olga?
ReplyDeleteWOW! I can't even imagine what it's like to have that much water everywhere. I live on an island (apparently it's "the largest fresh water island within a fresh water island that has over a hundred fresh water lakes" in the world) and I often wonder what would happen if we had a flood. Eeek!
ReplyDeleteYou're on an island within an island? Boggles the mind.
