That was Carol’s response the other day. She has been planting stuff in the front yard like a mad man. Several new perennials in the landscaping. Several new hanging planters. Two large pots on the porch filled with annuals. A beautiful fern hanging at the door.

Then, the rains came down and the floods came up. The rains came down and the floods came up. The rains came down and the floods came up, and the house on the rock…

I mean, some of the plantings didn’t look as nice as they did when first planted. Blooms knocked off. Leaves and stems mashed into the soil. Broken branches hanging limp.

Carol, looked it over. She had tears in her voice. She said, “Oh, my…”, “Oh, my…”, “Oh, my…everything!”

I think I know just how she felt.
