Angela, thank you for the note, it really made my day, I will treasure it! I think the blue
danube playing was as close as we get here, him swinging in time might have turned
it surreal! On the other hand, I was sure glad the rain slowed down
-we can flush our toilets and wash dishes for the first time in 36 hours!
We got 10 inches in 2 days. Our house is on a cliff right on the river, only a few feet
away (usually about 35 feet above it) and it was rising really high last night. Plus we
lost 2 trees and a section of our bank!:-( last Friday, but we climbed down on Sat. and
found all kinds of neat old bottles, intact, that had fallen down the cliff -there used to be
a railroad went across the river there (the concrete trestles are still there, about 30
feet high, and we use them to gage the height of the river as it rises and goes down)
and they used this whole area as a dumping ground. One bottle still had blueing in it!
My bare root blueberries are still sitting in a tub of dirt, but we are taking the
day off tomorrow so we can plant them (thanks to all the great info I got from
Michael Barclay on this list :-)
