April Showers

Our quiet branch of Spring Creek rages and roars.

We have had rain this month. The steady downpours this afternoon left our little branch of Spring Creek swollen into a raging torrent. The weather forecast is for even more rain today and tomorrow, accompanied by some severe weather. We feel for the victims of the 2010 Nashville Flood and imagine they're looking out with trepidation upon this morning's weather.

We are thankful to be located on high ground. Although we missed seeing the crest last year, when the water had completely submerged our front fence, we're quite aware of the power of Nature's fury. Our thoughts and prayers today are with the families battered by this weather, and for whom the rains present more than just a photo opportunity. Stay safe, everyone; ride out the storms on high ground if at all possible.
