took a short ‘walk’ outside this morning
onto the deck and the dry part of the front drive

i’ve been using the term ‘moat’ around the house and barn

no

most properties are underwater (except the houses) and all that water is connected.
each house is on an island in a very large lake that goes all the way to the canal.
it’s all under water

like it would look when the levee breaks, except the water came from above
