Well, I wish I could tell you how wonderful my garden is.... instead I will tell you about the 13 inches of rain we got in Tennessee last weekend, and how the river crested at 12 feet above flood level and how there are thousands and thousands of people in trouble as a result.

I have spent the last week working with the Red Cross helping with shelters and disaster assessment in the area. I figured the garden could wait.

So, instead of wonderful things, I have weeds and asparagus that has already gone to fronds. I hope I can get in it this week and at least make it look like somebody lives here.

But, if not, we will get to it eventually.

Yep Grammy the garden could wait! I am sure many people needed the help and appreciated you volunteering with the Red Cross. I have been wondering how many FReepers were affected by the floods.
