Oh my goodness so much for the nice slow soaking rains we were getting. It is flooding here and everything around is is under water. The roads are washed out, our culverts are all washed out, the ponds are all overflowing and we're praying that the dams don't break. We got over 10 inches of rain in less than 24 hours. It's stil pouring and we're stranded as are all the people that live on our rural street.
I called 911 and told them they needed to get some people out and put out high water signs so no one else gets trapped by this. Everything looks like a river, can't see the roads at all. We live at the bottom of a hill on our property and everything around us is about a ft or more under water.

All my irises and daylilies that I was so proud of planting this past week are washed up and most are washed away. I'm just sick over all of this and lossing so many plants, but hopefull all our neighbors and animals will be ok. It's one thing to lose plants but a whole different issue if you lose someone, animals, pets, etc.

Please pray for our area to be spared any major problems and for the good Lord up above to change directions of these storms. We've had more than our share of rain for a couple of weeks.


Thank you in advance and God Bless all of you for praying for East Texas.
No GArdening, just trying to stay safe and dry!
