Water water everywhere
All the boards did shrink
Water water everywhere
Nor any drop to drink.
Samuel Coleridge "Rime of the Ancient Mariner"
Another day, another night, another high tide...Monday night brought another incredibly high tide on the Webhannet River in Wells. Unfortunately, this time the surge caused more damage than either of the past two.
Water flooded and destroyed six pepper plants and three basil plants that we had planted in a small portable unit on the side of The Mayne Garden (yikes... and they were hot peppers too, my favorite).
Yesterday we posted a picture displaying a water-mark on the side of The Mayne bed about ten inches high. This morning we observed another water-mark from last night's tide closer to 18 inches high.
When will it end?
