Finally the rains have gotten a few days further apart and we have been able to plant a few tomato plants and peppers. Going to look at the nursury tomorrow to see if any veggies are left. The flood waters are coming down the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers to towns about an hour drive for me. Some of the towns are places we visit often so when we hear that a levee had been breached or more rain is in the forcast we just cringe!
Things in Indiana are doing better. FEMA has been in to help the people who lost their homes, Red Cross is feeding them, an organization called Helping Hands is helping to drag their belongings out of destroyed homes and helping them clear their property of debri and salvage what they can, in addition to many other people offering help. My daughter is doing ok, has got her place cleaned up and is so thankful her place is on a hill and was only moderatly effected by some of the 11 inches of rain, multiple storms, tornadoes that were 3/4 of a mile from her home and flash flooding, but no total destruction like so many others.
I have had a busy day today and I am pooped! LOL My 9 year old granddaughter came at 7 this morning to spend the day, then we planted some new plants in the flower beds, watered.. did I actually say that?? LOL Yes I had to water all the new plants this morning. We do have rain in the forcast, but you never know if the new plants will get enough. Took her to the CrackerBarrell, she had never been before and had a wonderful lunch. Then hubby had to go to the cardiologist and then we have to get gas.. one place had even run out of gas.. paid a bargain price of.... $3.98. Just knowing the 4 was gone made it seem better until we got the total bill of $58!
Have been busy on the phone promoting our tv program tomorrow morning for my home business. This weekend is our little town's 150 yr sesquentennial and we went to supper there and then watched some wonderful fireworks. They did a great job for a small town. I was impressed! So now I am winding down. Hubby is watching his ballgame that he had on Tivo. Tomorrow looks to be a busy day as well.
Hope all is well with all of you!
