Lake Front Property?

Who knew we live on Lake Rogers?! But only when we get a deluge of rain... This is our puddle after 24 hours of pumping! In 2006 we watched our puddle grow and thought it was funny.. we wanted to see how big it got.. until it started moving into our basement. Now we are wise and begin pumping off before there is a problem. Hindsight is always 20/20!


Before the rain we had a friendly visitor! Mr. Fox laid in the rays of the sun under the swing set for 6 hours before Rob threw snowballs at it! He came back the next day to lounge in the sun under a tree farther back in the woods. Rob scared him again, and so far we haven't seen him again, but I guess we'll have to wait for this weekend to be sure, the first sunny weekend since we last saw him.

Just imagine what you may have had if you didn't pump it out. That is a lot of water. I must say I think
that is a really nice picture of the fox. Will the next animal sighting be a bear? Lots of wildlife there!

Oh my gosh, you weren't kidding! that's some puddle.

And thanks to your scare tactics the fox wound up in our yard instead. :) Only for a day though! ha-ha!

Wouldn't a fox eat other critters you wouldn't want in your yard?

Possibly.. but he might also eat the critters we do want (a.k.a the kids!!)... and he was preventing us from swinging on the nice day! But if he could get rid of the woodchuck that eats half my garden every year I might actually make a bed for him!
