We are counting our blessings as many along the Assiniboine River are experiencing flooding of their homes and property, we are high 'n' dry. Though we're only 3 miles from the overflowing river, we are situated at quite a high elevation.
And, we figure we're on the right side of the bridge since most of our contacts are on this side of it too. The water keeps rising, slapping against the girders of the bridge. So far, it remains open, but officials are watching it closely. We wonder if it will be closed? Will the structure be compromised? The water is flowing so swiftly ...
Our field garden did have about 4 feet of water in it at the beginning of the spring thaw, but as soon as the frost left the ground the water disappeared - literally within a couple days.
