Monday: The Pleasant Valley Report

So far, so good with regard to flooding. While the river is rising, we don't have any immediate problems at our house. Although my neighbor across the street has a horse pasture behind him that is full of standing water. It's been like that for a while simply from all the rain we received. It's a true wetland back there, complete with many frogs.

Gorgeous day--we've had three in a row. Last week a thunder storm rolled in one night that featured some intense lightning. While we saw no hail, many in Fort Collins were not so lucky. The streets in historic Old Town are covered with leaves that were shredded from the trees, and I know several people who lost vegetable gardens. But today it's sunny and cool.

Thanks to everyone for all the good wishes and your thoughts.
