The almost-setting sun was shining on ice still on the trees, a dazzling sight that he wanted to share with her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-90496886637206567782009-03-04T08:50:00.000-05:002009-03-04T08:50:00.000-05:00Ellouise, thanks for taking the time to come by.

We've had some serious floods in my county during the time I've lived here, but nothing like the Flood of 1985 you experienced. Even the ice storm seems like nothing compared to that.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-11322469948857212022009-03-04T08:23:00.000-05:002009-03-04T08:23:00.000-05:00It's moments like these that make you realize how ...It's moments like these that make you realize how strong you are.

We try to have the things we need on hand all the time because even in summer a terrible storm can cause a flood or knock out power for days. I can't imagine if we'd had livestock to care for. That would have been 'way hard.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-60420987959549061872009-03-03T22:18:00.000-05:002009-03-03T22:18:00.000-05:00I felt like I was right there with you.

Lots of people went without electricity for close to two weeks. We were fortunate to only be without for a day or two. One more reason you always have to be prepared when you live in the country.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322898569174861610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-36794755209507704022009-03-03T20:56:00.000-05:002009-03-03T20:56:00.000-05:00It was, and certainly left an impression on us all...It was, and certainly left an impression on us all. But so, so pretty in a terrible way. I thought it was funny how people were howling about stuff in their freezers going bad--and all that ice and snow out there to pack it in!
