The Easter Flood

Its been a while since I updated here.

 This is the long story short.

Not only are we sheltered in due to Corona virus on Easter,

but our little town had a tornado hit. that killed 7 people.

Sweet Hunter kept telling me that night when all the storms were going through tostay in the center bathroom. 

He had me get several quilts and pillows because of the tornado warnings.

Our power was out and honestly we think we heard twisters go by twice that night.

It was so scary.

We knew it rained all night but our rain gauge only showed 4 inches the next day.

We have had many many floods here but never this high.

Sweet Hunter had just landscaped with 100 bales of pine straw. Everything was beautiful.

The day after all the rains and tornados we felt so blessed but

as the day went on the river kept rising.

I normally love when it floods. 

It means nobody can come down our road and its 

almost like we are snowed in. 

We can't get out and nobody can get in.

But this time it was different. 

We watched as the river got so high.

It was beautiful but it wasn't as fun this time.

First of all we had been sheltered in 3 weeks and second it ruined our landscaping.

The pine straw ended up against our fence in the pastures and tore some of the 

fencing down.

(We  have been sheltered in for 5 weeks as I write this.)

We bought these beautiful pots many years ago at an estate sale. I have always been so proud of them.

The river took them but thankfully as of today 

Sweet Hunter found them and brought them back up for me.

They are huge.

Bless his heart.
He tried waders. 
Then garbage bags.
Then just got soak and wet.

During the flood we noticed it kept knocking the gate 

opened. We had just put 2 heifers in that field because they were due anytime and we wanted to get them away from the 

other cows. Sweet Hunter had to wade in the water which was 4 ft. high at the gate. He had to remove all the logs and straw that was knocking it open to get it closed.

It actually came open twice and one of the cows got out

but we got her up. 

If you feed them, they will come. 

Smile.

Between the virus, the tornados, the flood, 

we are still so blessed and thankful.

I will try to update again soon!
