Land of the wet!

Well first of all let me say I want to count my blessings that we have no structural damage, water damage, or any damage. There are lost of them around us who do! I do think that Evan Almighty might be a handy guy to know if this continues.

Our favorite little town in Wisconsin I understand is flooded. Gay Mills, Wisconsin. We go there every year for Apple festival. Also on our traditional "river run" a lot of the little towns we go through in south eastern Minnesota were hit with flooding. We have flooking all around us, lots of friends with water in the basement. No basement here so we are lucky. Trees have been blown over by straight line winds. The big Chicken by the old fashion drive in was blown completely over. Now this is a 12 foot rooster, it is huge, laying on its side because of the straight line winds.

So I am counting my blessings as I watch it rain, knowing that I am safe and just soggy!

We keep getting rain that seems to damage everything around us but not flooding and I'm so grateful for that. But what is up with the lightening, wind and water? Strange summer it has been. First heat and dryness and now everything else. I guess its our time for something since the past years have been pretty mild. I'm glad to know your safe and things are fine in your neck of the woods too.
