Today, I'm so very thankful that the rain has stopped and the water is reseeding! In a 36 hour period we've gotten over 9 inches of rain! We even got snow yesterday mixed in for about a hour! Rivers are overflowing, ponds too, roads were closed and yards looked like lakes, mine included! We took a walk down to our pond and it's the fullest we've ever seen in the 14 yrs. we've lived here, the dock is floating off to one side! The yard is like a sponge, but the earth will soak it all in soon as it's in the 60's today and sunny! I'm also thankful that today is the first day of spring, finally! Now, trees and plants will come out of hibernation and sprout green all over, such a joyous time!
Wow! That's a lot of rain. I'm glad it's stopped and that it's sunny and warm now.
ReplyDeleteI love the first days of Spring!
Sue, I'm thankful your rain stopped as well. I watched the news this morning and it's just crazy how much rain you and your neighboring states are getting.
ReplyDeleteHappy spring and Happy Easter, Sue!
ReplyDeleteI've heard this recent flooding is just the tip of the iceberg! More to come with the northern snow melt. So far we have not been affected by the flooding. I remember well, the floods of '93 and '82. They are saying the floods this year could be as bad, if not worse!

I like the Thankful Thursday posts you do every week. Today is Friday-Good Friday. The day Jesus died on the cross to pay for my sins-to pay for everyone's sins-I'm thankful that he died on the cross to pay my debts. I'm thankful that I have asked him to forgive me of my sins, accepted him as my Savior and I'm living my life for him so that I can one day spend eternal life in Heaven with him.
ReplyDeleteI'm thankful for a wonderful Christian husband and beautiful daughter! I'm thankful for wonderful Christian parents, Christian mother in law and father in law(s) and Christian grandparents. I'm thankful for family and friends, my church and all the blessings God has given me and my family!
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family a wonderful Easter weekend! I'll try to catch up later!
Hugs,
Hope
Hi Sue, we were glad to see the rain stop, too! Lots and lots of rain here--about 8 inches or more. Part of our road is still flooded, but passable. Don't you love this sunshine?! Have a wonderful Easter weekend.

Hi Friend Sue,
ReplyDeleteWe received a lot of rain also. Last summer when we had that heavy rain in June, the sewer flooded into the house! Yuck. We were spared theis time, thank you Jesus!
I'm glad we're renting.
Have a great Easter!
I'm going to E-mail you about your etsy team. I opened my store last month, but don't have any traffic yet.
