Here comes the rain

With no snow in the forecast for a while maybe everyone can get out and work in their yards. Well a few days is calling for rain. If your yard is like mine we have some limbs down and a few trees that need to be cut down. On Sunday when the ice was melting from the trees you could see it all fall and it sounded just like an ice storm. It is amazing we can be shut up in the house for 5 days and in a few hours all of the snow and ice begins to disappear. The rain is settling in we can expect rain the rest of this week and into next week. Center Hill Lake should be rising from all the snow and now this rain. We are under a flood warning. I know the ground is overflowing with all this water.

Thank you to the Salem Baptist Association Disaster Relief crew went out and helped people that had tree limbs and debris from the ice storm. This crew is put together from volunteers from different churches that is in the Salem Association. I know they helped a lot of people that would not have had help if they had not come. Such a good act of kindness shown to a lot of people.

I have some Buttercups fixing to bloom and my Japanese maple tree has sprouted out some new leaves. We were feeding the birds during the snow and ice storms and Douglas, my husband bought two more feeders. The birds have been staring at us. Douglas said,” the feeders are empty I will fill them up.” I think some of the birds were looking in at us like get up. The birds get hungry too when they cannot look on the ground and find something besides snow. I do hope our Hummingbirds go back this spring. We had quite a few of them. Spring is such a beautiful time of year, trees and flowers are blooming. The green comes back in the yard and trees it truly is amazing.
