Flood Watch

Back in February we were told by the Province to prepare for a possible flood this Spring. We have been working hard cleaning out our basement and getting prepared. Through the month of March we watched many workers diligently building up the dyke around our home. Now we sit and wait and watch the water rise. We have never had to worry about a flood - in fact, the area we live in hasn't flooded since the 1950's, but this year it is different. Each evening we take a walk up to the dyke to check on the water level and I have to admit this past week has made us all a bit nervous. I am very confident in what the Province is doing to prepare - they even send out "watchmen" that have spent the nights in their vehicles watching the rising Assiniboine.

The other night we wandered out with Dylan to take a look. It was getting quite dark, so these photos have a lot of "noise" in them because I didn't use any flash, but I love them just the same.
