October 20, 2013. Canyon Lake, Texas. The Lake.

The lake looks good although still short of water.  The boat ramp just down the road is still closed.   The ramp itself is now under water but the dock, which is supposed to be floating,  is on dry land.  Rita and I went for a walk this morning to see the neighborhood  and we checked out the boat ramp.  It is almost unbelievable to discover that the shed on our property and the gazebos across the lake were under water, not so long ago.

And the lake house looks good too although we have a crack right in the center of the main upstairs room.  It looks as if the right side is pulling away from the left side, which is not a good thing.  Fortunately, the crack does not appear to be getting bigger.  Sooner or later we must have it checked.  Everything else is working fine.  Ken and Ian got the stream running too and the pond is still full of water,  but of course, the herons have eaten the fish.

A lot of rain has fallen at the lake recently but not enough to fill it up.  The cove in front of the house is not as big as usual.   The rain has a big effect on Texas and the lake.  We must keep praying for rain.
