Lucky me...I was within the first 12 in the long line...

EXCEPT there were two other lines that went in first, one

line with 300 who paid a 20.00 entrance fee to shop early.

The early bird catches the work, right.

I believed it after I saw some SOLDS on NEAT things I WOULD HAVE TAKEN HOME!

(Must pay more entrance $$$ next SUMMER for sure!)

UNCONTROLLED WATER...the man told us, he has lived by the Ogden river next

to Lorin Farr Park 50 years.

Water from bridge bottom less than 6" hitting into it

This photo right after 22 hours of POURING non stop RAIN.

Weber county

Same Ogden River another Bridge only closest to Prairie Schooner.

Snowing in Mountains at the time

11th Street and 3200 S. west weber

Muddy Weber River

flooding the fields near it

This is the sad one...you'll see for yourself.

Farmland under water surrounding beautiful home

Location out 12th street West Weber or Warren area.

One side and front of this same home

little goats looking on

Channel 2 took photo's, said over 2,000 acres at least flooded.

channel 2 monday morning.

Other side of this home, much worse

We are on a bridge on top of this river, reason for flooding.

Isn't this high?

Same bridge.

Driving around miles and miles and miles of farmground, saturated,

muddy,puddled, some crops of corn inches up, most unplanted.

Many homes sandbagged, waiting for the REAL floods

expected THIS week.

Haunted Hollow 1900 west 13th street all under water.

It gets deeper every week now.

Lots of carp swimming trying to find deeper water there.

Ominous heavy clouds still 3 hours after these photos taken

70% chance rain through the night.

News said 1 1/4" today

with rain/snow through the night until afternoon Monday

The bright side:

It was nice to drive past the Ogden cemetary, cars lined to get in to pay

their respects to loved ones and the colors brightened up the gloom.

Hanging my head in shame:

on my last post this morning I was crying over a little flat of baby sized vinca's

I worked so hard to plant yesterday and then the 22 hour storm came.

I worried and worried.

Then our drive.

I now must say to myself:

Put on your coat of COMPASSION and GRATITUDE

These are neighbors and our community and state that have their livings in crisis

 it's not over it's just begun

We didn't lose a small loved one in the river today nor our living for the year.

Our home still stands it's not twisted into kindling

I will give thanks and forget my selfishness

what's a few little flowers.

It's time to pray for those in crisis right now.

Hope this finds all we love safe and well.

5:30 a.m...and Vinca's

SWEET Vinca's

they remind me of a new born baby

Vinca's love sunlight

they are a hardy dainty cottage flower.

THIS is Vinca's planted

I will share this place early this week

It reminds me of Hansel and Gretels house.

2nd clue: it's in Farmington

Our white picket fence prop is down and for sale:

$50.00

Just a bed of roses  paper bag holder Headboard display selling:

$85.00

5:30 a.m. I poke snoring husband to get up for the newspaper for yard sales...He sleeps through proding.

zzzzzzzz  zzzzzzz  zzzzzzz

 I get up and wander through the yard,  a beautiful morning and to be honest I hadn't done ANY yard browsing this year.

I start to pull weeds, here and there in bathrobe, soon its an hour.

I crawl back into bed.

it hurts.

We sleep in until 9:00 a.m.

(unheard of for us two.)

I tell Mr. Roses, my YOU have been VERY busy outside, but... I helped you!

Smile on my face.

He arose and off to one yard sale we went:

If you think you know someone controlling and bossy ...if it's not THIS LADY, then

YOU HAVEN'T

We thought we'd met every kind of personality...

WE HADN'T

Arriving home I started thinking I must venture out soon to find WHITE PETUNIA'S

because... I saw them in a window display

also pink VINCA'S along a path.

Obsessed now

For 6 hours I planted 2  1/2 flats and re/arranged

garden furniture in our "way to big" of yard for "our age."

filled 3 wheelbarrows.

At 6:00 p.m.

showered. TOOK PILLS. slept hard.

Mr. Roses is required at his employement on holidays...I am not and because Lisa of http://www.blueandshoe.blogspot.com/ SAYS I HAVE DEEP POCKETS

being shopowner

I can stay home whenever I want.

I should not be left unattended, because I am like my father, once I get going, it's not easy to get us to stop.

called...NO sense.

Now in pain AND rain pouring

on my fragile baby like Vinca's and

purity white petunia's.

9:30 p.m. Mr. roses arrives home

I share the good news.

He seriously wants to take a flashlight out in the pouring rain.

Because you see...He is like the controlling

yard sale lady, he thinks he owns

our yard. He asked IF I WATERED the new plants.

I stated: did I not feed and raise our 4 babies and insist we rode up to see new 3 week grandson to FEED him this morning.

(Oh ye of little faith and confidence)

WEll...

I have been known to plant my flowers

and then let them tend themselves.

Like the sign says:

Work Hard

and be nice!

Sunday morning update:

still raining cats and dogs, non-stop.

My vinca's...

so worried, sleeping husband must get-up

and cover them or they will drowned.

This rain is scaring me

How about you?
