Welcome to the watery world of Wisconsin.
Did I mention Spring in my last post? The thermometer cracked 60 degrees today and look what that does to lots of snow.
This morning we had half our bottomland submerged.
By afternoon, the transformation was complete.Look familiar? Check my blog from yesterday.
Moles have the toughest time with this kind of event, I would think. They don't hibernate however, so should be on the alert for a flood event, and there seems to be scientific evidence that they are good swimmers in shallow water. That made Kelley and me feel better after we saw one of the little guys scurry out of one "island" hole and down into another. Hours later the island was gone.
Here's a look downstream. The Narrows Creek that my people's "land" borders on, meets up with the Baraboo River just 100 twisty yards into the distance here.
