Some of you have suffered flood damage inside your homes and basements this weekend. My thoughts go out to you as I know how much work you are going through to clean up the mess, and the rain is still coming as I write this.
At my home we have flooding only outside…and have lost parts of our garden….much of the new soil hauled in this year flowed right out with the gushing river, new raspberry bushes damaged, new plants that were just planted yesterday washed away….nothing like dealing with inside damage, but loss...money, time and sweat, just the same.
Now imagine what a tornado victim feels like, or how the survivors in Myanmar feel ....or those who carried on after Katrina, after major flooding.
I know…that was them and this is us…and that was tragedy and this is us…just heavy rain, but flooding just the same…and it costs us time and it costs us money, and it is us....
This morning…I observed every bit of the soil was washed away from one row of vegetables that used to be below the ground….
and left behind was a row of red and green,
standing tall, holding on by fragile roots....
I know....it's deep.....
