Being able to sit in the sunshine for the first time in nearly a week. It is a bit nippy but it still feels great! Poppy is loving getting out in the sunshine, too.

The flash flooding is receding here so some of the roads are opening again. Some roads have been undermined by the water and are still closed for fear of collapse. My heart goes out to those that have river flooding in their area. Some towns shut down and evacuated everyone, especially in Kentucky. Unfortunately, since all those rivers flow into the Mississippi, it may all be coming our way and to Cindyh. Trying to make a plan, decide what is most important to save, and get together things to take in case we get evacuated.

Clematis blooming everywhere. I have two different new vines on opposite ends of the yard from where the originals were planted. Since I lost one of them, my favorite, a couple of years ago I was so glad to see the new one bloom this year.

Everything hurts. My gratitude is that this too shall pass as the cold front gets out of here and everything gets more stable again.


Allergy meds. Even with all the rains and flooding the pollen count here is still off the charts but now mold is also a threat.
