When it Rains it pours....

The swamp runneth over, into the neighbors cozy little nook.  This is at the top of the main road I live off of.
 I wanted to go get photos  in town,  but husband had the truck. I didn't think I could drive the Honda far and take photos or video, at the same time.

 Here is a little bit of what I dealt with last week, actually today was the first day, you could pass through the routes. High water signs were posted, this video, doesn't show how bad, it actually was.   Yes, I was affected by the crazy weather in NC, last week.  It flooded two major paths I travel.  One a detour ; it was decided to close a bridge and put a detour on a back road, which become so flooded the DOT reopened the bridge.  Good thing, not much work had been done on it.  One and 1/2 mls from my home, neighborhoods were flooded.  The National Guard came on Monday to pick children up for school, still surrounded by high water.   I watched a vehicle attempt one route. When I saw the water hit just below the bed of this truck with  a lift kit, I said No thanks. I was in a Honda at the time, did a U-turn and had to find another way out of Dodge.   I felt bad, for those whose homes are flooded.  I know 3 locations were affected.  No one thought it would get this bad.  Windsor, NC was hit the worst, from what I have seen via News.   I need to find out what I can do. 

School cancellations were just part of the fun; We also lost the power for awhile, just when everyone returned home.  Then the neighborhood kids decided to visit;  It was fine, we made the best of it.  

I bought this Halloween broom on Wednesday, it is made of cinnamon; It smells divine.   Something is really weird about this broom.  I bought in memory of my Grandmother.  She always had one hanging on a door of her root cellar. I was never allowed to go down there, the broom was crooked ;It looked like one a witch would own.   My broom, is smaller and not so threatening, so I thought til my eyes burned and my sinuses swelled up.   I am better, but lots of sneezing and head pain.  I am behind on commenting on your blogs; I hope to be able to get back to it!  I know I must of missed a lot.... xXx
