Flood waters

As you can tell, I've not mastered the art of uploading photos in the correct order. And, I'm not taking the time to figure it out. The above photos are taken of the 1)local river, that has caused two towns a great deal of issues, 2) our pasture where noted bull was one day still finding dry ground and the next swimming, 3) the view across the road from our house-Rol's field and shed/yard, and 4) the road on the way to town.

That poor bull-Del & the boys went to rescue it and brought it up to higher ground. Lucille, I thought you might find those pasture pics interesting, as its the drainage ditch field that we talked about the other day.

Yes, this week has brought a quick spring thaw. Beautiful mid-teen temps, has wreaked havoc with overland flooding all throughout the area. Today, tho, things are looking up, as water levels are starting to go down.

It was our turn to bring supper to mom and dads tonight. I actually made a decent meal, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. That is rewarding! I even baked fresh buns! Mom is holding her own. She is managing to move herself between the sofa, the bed, and the bathroom-the most important places in the home!! :-) Dad is ever attentive to her, and they are coping. Yes, the visitors are stopping by, but seem to be considerate of short and sweet visits.

I'm on a few days off of work, and am trying to catch up at home. The boys have been home the last few days. Today was a parent teachers day, and yesterday, school was cancelled due to the flood issue in town. They actually evacuated the schools and some homes, on Wednesday at 330 pm. So, that was my bonus-having the boys at home to help out with some projects.

Have a good weekend everyone-I'm going to find a good book and lay in my comfy/cozy bed.
