I live in Nortwest Tennessee which is currently under a severe weather watch for the next three days. Round two is about to cross the Big Muddy and on and on until who knows when. Then it stalls and we get bigly rain that will produce flooding. It is planting season for all areas affected so that will be a challenge to get the crop in. Around here we get backwater from the tributaries of the Mighty Mississippi including the Forked Deer. It has only been a month since South Dyersburg was flooded. Oretty soon, goodbye Dodges.
In 2010 we had the big one that trapped us on Council Road. Bubba called me and said that the headwater was coming and to go get supplies. Twenty minutes later we had to catch a ride in the back of Clara's work truck to get up the hill. After that, nothing could pass through, even a tractor. The water finally went away and we got back to real life. That was a pretty magical time for me and LP. All we had was each other and the neighbors. James took Daddy up to the by-pass in a boat so he could go see the doctor that he later left because Mama got in a mood over a Medicare statement. She was like that about things that mattered.
RFK is gonna let it "run the course" through the Avian flu deal so, umm. That ain't good since he's all anti-vax. I do believe that the Covid shots kept me from dying, but they also took a physical toll on my kidneys. I figure that plus Prolia did me in on that deal. Sometimes you need to just stop treating and start living.
Since I began this post two days ago, the stock market has crashed and Trump is gone for a long weekend of golf. Also, the South has been hit with multiple waves of tornadic weather that is far from over. The biggest threat when it's over is flooding of local rivers. This farm is totally surrounded by the north fork of the Forked Deer which means we may get trapped again.
All of this is in God's hands, so keep the faith ^j^
