Spring in The Valley

"How high's the water, Mama?" from song by Johnny Cash says it all.  We are on "flood alert" which is not anything new for the Valley.  The photo above by Darlene Kelly Dumond, shows Jalbert Crossing is close to overflowing onto Rt. 161.  This is the road which connects St. John, St. Francis and Allagash to Fort Kent.  We took a ride to observe it today and with additional rain tonight and tomorrow expected, it will happened within the next day or so.
Those of us who have experienced this before, know the routine and usually have stored extra food, medications refilled, et al and do not worry too much.  If there is an emergency, helicopters are on alert and ready to go.
We go about hour daily routine.  Of course, our home is on much higher ground than a lot of people in this area of  the Valley.  Those who live on the low lands will have flooding of their homes and we are concerned about them.  The people of this region do come together to help each other.  We are blessed!!
As always, may the good Lord Bless!
