Muskoka Flood 2017: That’s A Peak

We're pleased to report that as of now, aka Sunday April 23 2017, that the Lake Muskoka flood has in fact peaked.  While it was obvious to the eye yesterday, the proof is in the graph!

Recall my love for Annie Sloan's chalk paint and all my furniture projects, then get a load of this brilliance. Painted Tree Sometimes you just don't have room for a tree that eats 75 feet of ribbon (!!)  like mine did this season.  Odds are you've got twigs or branches outside the door, and some rope kicking about.  Voila....
