Yes! Thank you be safe! Same here!
I can so relate to you Kaye. Praying for Gods blessings and protection today and everyday. God is so good. Love to all. 😊✝️❤️🙏🏻
Storms will be rolling into my area northeast of Houston. Many neighbors in the rural areas outside of town have flooded. Storms are coming back tonight and again on Mother's Day and the Monday following it. I stopped at the store today to get some milk as I don't know if I will be able to get out for a few days, and I generally don't shop on Saturdays or Sundays as the stores are more congested. I like shopping when it is quieter, so I can think and not hear kids throwing fits.
So glad you hear you made it thru the storm ok and that your crawlspace is dry. I would recommend that you replace your sump pump every 5-6 years because they can fail at the worst times. Hugs for Linden for making it 19 years! Blessings always..
I was up at 2 a.m. bringing in my seedlings from the storm off the back deck. A few of them got pelted but they should be okay. In any case, I'm dragging today.
We have 30 tomato plants at risk. We are concerned. Storms are just rolling in here. Something got in the fence and ate 13 okra plants down to the ground. Thankful for what we have but so much work went into all grown from seed. Stay safe Kaye!
I remember those storms in TN. Crazy.
I love hearing from you in my day! ❤
I hope you come through this disaster ok.
Glad your generator was working. Those are so important for a homestead. You should do a video all about the experiences and in's and out's of your generator.
I Hope your cats are inside and you all stay safe. 🙏
PTL!❤
Praise the Lord for a dry crawl space!
The homestead life is not for sissies that’s for sure! We had loud thunder and lightning last night and early this morning. My daughter has a senior cat around the same age as your Lyndon. So sad when our companions get so old. Stay safe through that bad weather!😘❤🙏🏻✨
Make some soup.
Years ago I grew birdhouse gourds in NM. They grew everywhere into my neighbors tree. I had my husband cut holes in them for the birds to use. Wasps liked them. But the rest I cleaned and used brown shoe polish to paint them sort of. They were beautiful and looked like a expensive wood finish. I sent everyone I knew that Christmas for gifts.
Stay safe. My cat kept bugging me today for food but there was food in his dish. Come to find out I gave him dog food instead . He wasn’t having it. LOL. I love getting old.
I've been thinking about you and praying. I'm glad you're safe, and that it’s dry under your house. I'm sorry about your garden😢 Get your rest, friend. There were wild strawberries on my parents' farm, and they were out-of-this-world sweet! But at my house, we have "Indian Strawberry" (not a very nice name, but I didn’t come up with it!) Indian strawberry blossoms are pretty bright yellow flowers. The berries are red, and not poisonous, but they don’t taste good. They're very small. Ohio and Tennessee share a lot of the same wildflowers, so maybe the Indian Strawberry is what you tasted. The ones you picked in the video look like wild strawberries.
Storms are very scary. Such force and violence that no man can stop. Only our Lord.
My mother is 85 and on her own. She lives in the middle of the Texas desert alone. Her closest relative is her sister and she is 11 miles away. My mother still works. She runs the post office in her county and cleans hunting lodges nearby. Fiercely independent and hard headed! I live in Georgia but every year me and my husband go out and get her garden started for her. She loves her gardens…vegetables and flowers! It is a challenge considering where she lives. She uses gray water a lot! She will not let her age stop her. Glad you made it through the storms!
Kaye do you have a battery back up for your sump pump? Make sure you get one. If power goes out, sump pump doesn't work. I learned the hard way. With the doplar systems that they have installed that work tandem with the cell towers to increase and intensify storms IF you can afford it please get a tornado shelter. It used to be where the mountains broke up the storms. Not so much anymore. I think you can get one for 5K?
We’ve gotten a lot of rain and been so blessed the worst of the storms went north east. Which is of course your neck of the woods. Absolutely beautiful today low humidity and a breezy 72 ish. More rain on Monday
