Description

Devastation: Even in the midst of our worst Storm Outbreak in History My State has Endured a Total of 167 Tornadoes, now counting the 10 that hit last Friday May 2, 2008. We have had at one time 14 inches of rain in one day followed a week later by over 12 inches of Snow, but God has Granted that there should still be New Life where There was none. The Flowers are from a Vine of my late wifes garden and every year since her passing have had only diseased and rotted looking bouquets, but this is the first time in 13 years that they look Alive and Well and that is where I Hope this finds All of you.

Our weather has been SO extreme more than even normal extreme if there can be such a thing. This is a very expressive set with hope right in the middle. I am glad you were able to post them (meaning I assume you still have a house!) I can't imagine living there.... :0

Superb hpotography of the current situatiion. I'm glad the flowers are blooming. It's been bad news across the farm states of the Midwest. River rising two blocks from my place here south of St. Louis. Hang in there, everyone. This too shall pass.
