The Connecticut River, a few blocks from our home, drains a large section of New England on its way to the Long Island Sound. While our towns didn’t get the flooding of Vermont, our river is overflowing it banks. Here it fills our local park.

Happy to hear you avoided the flooding, Elizabeth. It made the main news over here, especially in Vermont.
Best wishes, Pete.

I wasn’t familiar with her either, but because I know the song (written in 1931), I found the above clip and liked the way she sings it (and I’m partial to singers who know old songs).

That is quite a scene of flooding. Thank goodness both of us didn’t get the worst of it.

We are high enough ourselves. Never wanted to buy close to water.

I thought this was supposed to be an ideal summer but it seems flood or draught everywhere. Here it is just cold – and smokey more often than not.

We expect more smoke in a few days.
