IT HAS HAPPENED, WE GOT FLOODED AGAIN...

I've been so busy, even too busy to get a photo of the flood but it's official. We are flooded once again.   My husband was away and I  got a call from my daughter asking how we were and wether we had water in the basement.  I went to check and the water was just coming in so I turned the sump pump on and attached the extension on the pipe outside so my flower bed would not all wash away.

I'm so tired, I just going to bed and hope that we won't float away. I really don't care at this point. I'm that tired.  The water is over the lanes so we are an island at the moment.  I'll give an update tomorrow sometime.  JB

    I am so sorry. Flooding is a pain in the neck. We were having problems all over our area last spring. Sump pumps were on everywhere and most houses had a hose spilling water out to the street. The clean up is exhausting. I hope you don't get too much damage.
    You're in my thoughts.

    I'm sorry to hear that, Julia. I don't live in a flood zone, but I fear it anyway. One nasty experience left my basement freezer jacked up a foot, where it stays, even though it makes access awkward, in case flooding ever happens again. I hope your flood subsides quickly.

    I am so sorry to hear this. We've all been under the weather this week with bad colds and I didn't catch the news or hear about the flooding until today. I hope you're okay.
    Blessings,
    Marcia

    Dear Julia,
    I can't imagine what you must be going through. The floods are so widespread it seems and so many people are affected. I pray you can maintain your strength and your family and animals stay safe too!
    Hugs!

    Oh Julia, I hope everything is going to be okay for you. the that I most often use is called Verel. It is usually a lt. rose color, but this one I ordered in burgandy. It is really soft and I love to use it. I always use a no. 4 cut when I hook. Then only thing is sometimes it is hard to work on at night because the sharpie doesn't show up really great. It is also great for proddy if you want to leave a lot of it as is, and just do a flower basket or something.

    Thank you so much everyone about your concerns. There are always someone worst off than we were. Thankfully we didn't had to move the cattle.

    The water level has dropped and although we are not pumping anymore, I haven't had time to clean my basement and sanitize it. Too much going on this week with cleaning at the farm etc. Sorry for not being around much lately. I appreciate all your comments. JB
