“There is peace even in the storm”
Vincent van Gogh
(the Mayor knows no fear at the park / Julie Cook / 2021)
The Mayor has stayed on for a few days following the Sheriff’s big birthday
celebration…so a trip to the park was in order.
Sadly, the weather has taken a turn for the nasty worst…
thunderstorms, flash floods and tornado warnings have been on tap for most of today.
and I fear much the same remains in the forecast for tomorrow as well.
Time to get creative with a three year old who is stuck inside during
bad weather!
Meanwhile, our back yard is now a raging river…
time to batten down the hatches!!

Be strong and courageous.
Do not be afraid or terrified because of them,
for the Lord your God goes with you;
he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

We have the same weather here Julie. Wet and windy and much too cold – 46f – I can’t remember ever having the heating on in May!
Put on your boots and dance in the rain❤️
The lightening is relentless- no cable, no internet and tornados 😑
Yikes. We could use some of that moisture here.
Those pine needles have to end up somewhere. Someone is going to be pissed when the flooding stops and he is the last depot.
That would be my husband but we did seem to get more than we started with 🤣
Great picture taking. I can see the water running, the rain raining, and the Mayor caught off guard from her professional duties. That perfect park speaks of a very nice community. Are the advantages of the move becoming more obvious? Hope so.
Still working on the understanding— Gregory is still very lost
He is not far removed from retiring which is a big change as well as moving locations. Would be a lot of adjusting to do. I feel for him – and you.
You are correct— the retirement was difficult and then we up and moved, so it’s all compounded— and thus he is lost.
When we married, I left home, family and friends.. I was lost but I had to adjust and figure it out— or I’d implode— now he’s having to do much the same and it is not pretty
Julie I was just in your neck of the woods during these few stormy days, (sadly for another short 4 day stay,) to meet our brand NEW grandson. (Yipee!!) The tornado alerts and activity was way to close for comfort – yikes! I thought of you and your family & am so glad you are all okay too. 🙏🏻
Well YAY on a new grand baby!! But you’ve got to stop popping in without letting me know!
Yep— spring in Georgia— Gotta love it 😬
Thank you, Julie!! But I know, right??? If I could get longer than “just a few days” down there a visit with YOU is TOP OF THE LIST!!! (And I don’t lie.)
