Water, Water Everywhere

It has been raining here 

pretty much non-stop

since Friday

so on Sunday we could not put it off any longer

and headed to the cape

to close up the cottage

water laying everywhere

the ground is saturated

this is on the way down

so glad we had the truck!

the old driveway 

I walked the perimeter

I could not get over how much water was just laying on 

top of the ground

Trev put up the shutters and we stripped the beds

gathered the food

did all the fun stuff that comes along with 

saying goodbye to another season

Mom updated the journal

and then we headed back home

this is another spot we went through on the drive

no that is not a lake
if you look about mid picture
near the top
that is a stop sign
yes ~ that is a road!

so glad that was not the road home!

Part of our main road in town was closed

we had to detour around more water

the leaves are pretty much gone here

and clogging the drains 

so there is a lot of flooding all over our area

we arrived home damp and tired out

but warmed up and settled in for the night.

The wine festival was fabulous

I cannot believe I have never gone before

there were over 80 booths

no pictures ~ too many people

and too many wines to try in 3 short hours!

I finally made the recipe I wanted to try on Saturday

it was yummy ~ check it out here

Trev jets off tonight for Phillidelphia

he is on course until Friday

so although I will miss him

I will enjoy my girly time

Hope everyone had a great week-end.
