Hi everyone! Love the pictures and garden plaque! I hope everyone gets to feeling better, prayers sent to ya!
It is wet, wet, wet here. Gustav decided to come up to Arkansas for a long visit, he has slowed down so much he's stalled out right on top of us, so we'll probably have 10 to 15 inches of rain by the time Thursday night comes around, and since he's stalled that doesn't decrease the winds, right now it's sustained winds of 20mph with gusts up to 40mph, I don't know how to calculate that into metric ☺, so I hope my trees don't topple over on my house. Mississippi and Louisiana have been getting tornadoes all day, Arkansas supposed to get them tomorrow, so on top of all the rain and straight line winds, we're probably going to get tornadoes too. Joy!
Because of the storm I decided to drive 6 hours home last night, and I am glad I did.
