Lots of friends left today so it was early morning walking to say good bye again. In all 6 RVs pulled out today and more will pull out on Sunday. It will get very quiet around here.
Tomorrow I will take a drive up to Greer to visit the Butterfly Museum before it closes for the season and have lunch with my friend Bobbie.
Took some pictures of Woodland Lake today. I don't know why I torture myself like this.
To the left of the photo where the tree stands the water used to come almost all the way to that tree.
I took a picture of the fishing pier I have no idea what they are trying to catch. Maybe it just gives them something to do. At he edge of the water it is now just muck, and all the green used to be under water.
I don't think anyone can launch a boat from here anymore.
At the bottom its nasty green gunk and muck
The brown on the far side was the water line in April of this year.
So to console myself I went to visit some of the local shops. I love this man made of all computer parts.
Check out the sun flowers peeking over the fence. The fence is 6 ft.
That's all for this evening.
Hope you all had a great day.
I guess they arent' fishing after all they also just stare at what it has become.
ReplyDeleteI like to pretend I still have good eyes. Guess you were right about my imagination Jojo, at least I got one thing that's still good :) How much I owe you for gas?
ReplyDeleteBy the way Jojo, that's the first time I've ever seen a fence with windows.
ReplyDeleteLove the "computer man!" Quite creative!!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a fence with windows either....again quite creative!!
The water has really disappeared!! How sad!!
Hi HoboJoe, Well I really thought you might be right, you peaked my imagination and let me tell you it doesn't take much. :)The park is only 1/2 ml from my place no charge for the gas.
ReplyDeleteHello Happytrails,
That fence is really neat. It encloses a court yard that they hope to have ready by next summer for having lunch or coffee. This building has been many things I hear. Now it houses all kinds of neat little shops. Antiques, bathsoaps,Bouteque, coffee shop with sandwiches, bakery and there is now an upper level which I haven't seen yet. All items are from local crafts people excluding the antiques if course.
Thank you both for stopping by.
I hope northern Arizona gets some good rains to fill the lakes up again. The water situation is serious. Love the fence with the windows and flowerboxes.
ReplyDeleteHi Granny, Rain is not the problem here. We have had lots n lots of rain they are draining the lake. It is privately owned by a pumping company.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by hope you have a wonderful weekend. Are you going to BBQ?
I like the computer guy, too. From the sign with the business names, it looks like a place I'd be interested in visiting. Maybe someday.
ReplyDeleteJust hate seeing once lovely forests, lakes, etc. being destroyed for whatever reason. In our hometown back in NJ, three lakes were lost due to recent flooding and dams breaking causing the water to drain into the bay.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeana,
ReplyDeleteYou could take a drive up here next summer when an if you want to get out of the Tucson heat. There are many camp grounds and RV Parks up here.
Hi Phyllis,
It is so sad,where in NJ did this happen? My sister is there now for her daughters wedding and she couldn't believe the destruction. Homes flood out trees down no electric.
Thanks You Ladies for stopping by.
