Delaware should be declared a marshland!
I guess the farmers almanac was almost correct in there predictions. They predicted a major snow storm in March as well. No snow, but 3 inches of rain! If that was snow we would have been looking at 3 feet of snow again! Now everything is under water. Peoples yards are small ponds. The poor farmers have had water laying in their fields since October. It is the first time I have seen farmers with crops still in the fields from the fall. In the middle of the storm at 4:00 am JJ was out running around chasing his hunting blind around in the dark, he peaked his head into one of the chicken houses to check on the birds when he saw that the temperature was down to 64 degrees! He came in to wake us up and we went out to find that our new curtain machine had misteriously brought down the curtains about 3 inches on the northeast side and the wind was just blowing so hard that pushed the plastic right off! We quickly fixed the problem only to find that one of the doors blew off in the other house! There was so much water on the outside of the house Jays boots sunk up to his ankles in water! We stapled cardboard up till day light when we fixed the door. It reminded us the hard way that we need to get the other 3 doors in each house replaced and replaced quickly. I think they are the original doors and the houses are about 40 years old. There was a break in the rain around 2:30 in the afternoon, so we went to Lowes to pick up materials to put up the trim around the new door in the laundry room. The laundry room is shaping up nicely. Its funny to think that things are more organized than ever around here and Jay will be going back to work in another week or so only to get adjusted to new routines again. I will enjoy it while it lasts.

Tammie, I sure hope the water recedes without further damage. This winter will go into the record books for everyone back your way! How's DU??
ReplyDeleteHe is doing really well. Swam last Monday and Thursday and this week he swam Monday and will on Thursday again. I really think the swimming is doing great things for him. He swam his last two laps on Monday without a life vest on! He did great. I wish there was a medicine to help with his incontenence. I have a call into the vet to see if she has any ideas. I really think wheels would speed things up for him. I have been thinking of writing an article and seeing if I could publish it in the paper and ask for donation to Eddies Wheels for D.U.. Do you think that is too bold? Maybe by writing an article about his story it could help others.
ReplyDeleteIt's sure worth a try. People are pretty generous normally. Several years ago our lab Penny was suffering from incontenance and our vet had her on one of the ingrediants in a diet pill common at the time but I don't recall what it was... I asked Barb and she doesn't remember either, she says it started with a "d" but that you can't get it any more. Guess it's a moot issue. Good luck!!!
