I spent a lot of time on tumblr ...I couln't paint or wrote or concentrate.

This has been a ...Patti I hope this finds you well! This has been a bad time for the excesses of nature - floods in one place, fire in another, so many lives disrupted, so many extremes unhealthy for the planet - here we have been spared disaster conditions, but we seem to be having weeks in which the temperature can be in the 90s one day and then drop literally 40 degrees the next. Two days ago it felt like August and today I am wrapped in warm clothes again as if it were November!<br /><br />I'm glad it sounds as if you have all your emergency measures in place and will likely escape the worst of it. All the best to you, my dear friend!Gisizeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842508709852026701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919562061299505596.post-6420098607712772952011-06-11T09:50:12.368-05:002011-06-11T09:50:12.368-05:00Lorraine (Enchanted Blue Planet)....since we'r...Lorraine (Enchanted Blue Planet)....since we're from Florida and have never experienced water in the basement, it seems frightening, but apparently it's not all that unusual...especially in light of your experience. I'm sorry to hear about all your fellow Canadians facing hardship too! What times these are! I have family coming in the next couple days and we're headed to Montana for a family reunion....that should be a nice break!

A little water in the basement, if that's the worst of it, is not too bad, considering what could happen. Yes, those trees are famous for sucking up the water....which was why it seemed so counter intuitive to most of us down here. I think it must have been concern that they might topple eventually onto the houses. Almost no one cut down trees...could have been yet another one of those rumors that are about all we have for news. Even the news media is spreading misinformation....alas. Thanks again for thinking of me...great to hear from you!Missouri Bend Paper Workshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153989891514458384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919562061299505596.post-28396686913022756232011-06-11T09:41:42.862-05:002011-06-11T09:41:42.862-05:00Collage Whirl...thank you for good wishes.

I forgot about the water table, but I do agree with you about the trees; they're working for you. We live in saturated basement country; it's actually normal around here and spring run-off creating a "river" through our basements is expected (though I'll have a hard time explaining that to the next owner of this home). As long as your footings are stable all will be fine. I do feel for your neighbours; Canadians are having emergency evacuations all across the country and even home demolition to help reroute flooding rivers. Volunteers are on their way to Quebec as I write. Water, water everywhere...<br />These latest mixed media collages of yours are wonderful! I can imagine how hard it must be to focus on work, but if you'll forgive the pun, your well is deep. And you would do well not to divide yourself too much.<br /><br />PeaceEnchanted Blue Planethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09197089660201534672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919562061299505596.post-30788712238507062192011-06-11T05:51:05.610-05:002011-06-11T05:51:05.610-05:00I do hope you'll be OK.

This is based on no scientific knowledge whatsoever - but over here the councils remove weeping willow trees from edges of water in parks becasue they are so water hungry and drink all the water. Would your cottonwoods not do the same? I'd have thought they'd be a help rather than a hindrance.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01293699439166883500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6919562061299505596.post-50536946546960816632011-06-10T23:12:20.004-05:002011-06-10T23:12:20.004-05:00Incidents of nature are scary--sending good though...Incidents of nature are scary--sending good thoughts your way!
