My mother used to say 'Be careful what you wish for....you just might get it'. It's advice I passed down to my children.
Well, I thought I was being careful, wishing for a 'little rain'. You know, a couple inches, spread out over a couple days.
Tropical storm Hermine had a different idea. We got almost 9...that's NINE...inches, here at Patchwork Garden.
And, we were lucky.
As she moved north, Hermine dropped more and more rain. On the other side of Austin from us, she dropped 15 inches or more. All the way up to the DFW area, where she caused more flooding, and tornadoes, too. I'm not sure just what made her so mad.
Since we have a little bit of a drainage problem here, we had a little bit of water in our garage. That is nothing. Lots of people were flooded out of their homes. Tornadoes damaged businesses and homes.
We were lucky..
Sunshine in the Rain.
We'll be working on our drainage problem. We'll be praying for the people who had messes made of their homes. And, we'll remember
Be careful what you wish for....
This time, we were lucky.
