It's gone. The lake is gone. It really wasn't a very big lake to begin with, more of a glorified pond. But now it is a series of intermittent puddles, tree stumps, and muddy earth exposed.
There were very heavy rains a couple weeks ago, and a small earthen dam protecting the lake partially broke, and the lake has slowly drained away.
We don't live right night to the lake. It's within sight of our house, though. Well, if you stand at the edge of the far right corner of our yard. That's as close to luxurious lakeside living as we get. Now, we don't even get that.
I'm not a reporter, just a musing blogger. So I don't really know when it will be fixed. Alison says she has read that it needs to be fixed by spring. No kidding. If not, it will become one of the world's largest incubators for mosquitoes. That stuff is stagnant, and it's gonna get real nasty when it warms up.
I've changed my Christmas wish list to asking for mosquito netting.
UPDATE: Daylight come, and the lake still be gone
