The sky turned dark and I could hear a terrible rumbling of thunder...........

another day of rain out of the many days we had already had.........

but as you know........rain here is cherished......

so I didn't worry about the dark that came over the house........and settled in for a long day of stitching........

until friends started texting and calling.......as well as my husband..........who was at work.........

asking if everything  was okay............

little did I know that this is what everyone else was seeing........

just east of where we live..........but way too close.........I had no idea!.......... Thankfully, it had a lot of bare land.........to land in......and no damage was done.

I am not located in East Texas or  close to Dallas where the terrible flooding and tornadoes did their damage.........my heart and prayers go out to everyone who does live there,......

.however, the areas surrounding our home got their share of an overload of rain.

This is on the side of the highway heading to Lubbock.............there is a cotton field out there somewhere.

This is the highway.........and it was scary driving through the water..........

and then seeing this between the highway lanes.  It wasn't long after this, that the highway was closed and we were detoured around it all. 

We are due to another few days of rain.  The grounds here are still muddy........but covered in 

acre

after acre of wildflowers.  I literally have a wildflower farm at this moment

and I didn't plant any of them.

Gertrude is standing deep in wildflowers and has still managed to hang onto her dress and her hat through all of the wind and rain. .

Inside............baby Taboo is still keeping everyone in the house entertained. 

So how are all of you ......dear readers?

Have you been hit by the storms?

Here's hoping that all of you are safe and out of harms way.
