Pond Oswego

My lake...is gone! Apparently they're fixing the sewer line because they thought it was going to bust or something, something. Whatever the reason, it better be back to normal by Memorial Day Weekend 2011! That's a threat! Aside from Hawaii, the Lake Grove Swim Park is the place I prefer to be in the summer. I never thought these words would pass my lips, but I hope it rains a lot this winter... since that is the means they're using to refill Lake Oswego. Until then, we will refer to it as "Pond Oswego" in our home.

Lake Oswego after (notice the dock of the swim park - from the picture above - located in the background of this pic? I know, I too shed a tear...)

Pond Oswego (it kind of makes me think of a movie about the apocalypse - or Arizona)

Seriously? How did I miss that? I need to go and check it out immediately!
And BTW, you had better stop wishing for more rain:)

I'd like to know how they got all the water out of there... That is so sad looking!

It is totally freaking me out. It is secretly the reason I opted to run 12 freaking miles away from the "lake" yesterday.
