The Sheyenne River in Lisbon


Easter celebration for us was Saturday in Lisbon when we went to visit my mother in the Parkside Home. News reports had told us the river was high and this is the scene as we drove into town. The crest had not hit yet and was expected for yesterday, Easter Sunday. People put so much energy into protecting property these past few years putting up dikes and sandbags, then taking them down again after the threat passes. Perish this thought, but I heard someone ask, "What if Lake Agassiz is filling up again?" Devils Lake certainly has.
