Hi Margaret,
There is still some water in the backyard, but most is gone. The pond is
valiantly trying to clear. I have been helping it with Acu-Clear and
constant cleaning of the filter.
Rosemary has started to build. She is also on this list.

Sorry to hear about your flood, Myra. Hope things have soaked in and are
cleaned up by now. Have you heard anything from Rosemary Carlson? I'm
interested in knowing how her house construction is going. I hope things
have speeded up after the slow start the rains forced. Best, Margaret
