Some rain must fall

Lake Dunmore

I live near Lake Dunmore in Addison County, Vermont. I love posting photos of the beautiful lake.

Some days must be dark and dreary."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Sandbags

Many have asked me about the flooding but we were spared by the early storms. However, the rain added up and finally filled Lake Dunmore to flood levels.

Spillway

The overflow is running around the gate that controls the water level in the lake.

Dock

Many of the docks are under water.

On the edge

Others are barely above water. Thankfully the water is starting to go down. My only issues have been water in the basement and a flooded garage. Easily and gratefully endured. And no internet for the last week! That is much tougher lol

Its a crazy year. In between lots of hot, humid days. Lot hotter than it should be in Vermont 😅

Sorry about the Internet. Everything else is relatively easy to endure, but THE HORROR! I cannot imagine being without.

Spent an hour or two on phone w/ Verizon yesterday, and it was clearly the end of the world. I mean, NO INTERWEBS??? WTF???
I felt like I was stuck in the early 80's
It was pure hell.
