My daughter went in this morning to get some of her work caught up with and she says the whole school stinks. When she walked down the hall past the bathrooms she gagged on account of the smell. Some of the rooms have water spots in them which stink. One school has had water 12 inches deep for 72 hours and lots of homes have standing water in them. She is safe in her home.
Now on to better things, Here is a video of a Buckeye Butterfly on a flower.

Have a blessed day everyone. Count your blessings each day. Helen
Your flower shots are lovely. Its so sad about all the flooding and it is a horrible mess to clean up. I hope it gets better down there.
ReplyDeleteSorry your daughter had to contend with a flood! And all the other people, too. Sounds like a pretty bad one. I enjoyed the video of the butterfly. That was an unusual video
ReplyDeleteThe butterfly and the flowers just brightened my day a whole lot. I hope it means that the water is receding and rained has stopped if your daughter got into school today. It will be a major clean up there. I'm praying for all that have suffered tragedy there.
ReplyDeleteAll the flooding is indeed a mess to say the very least. Praying for all involved. Gorgeous butterflies!
ReplyDeleteNature is very powerful, dangerous stuff, but also beautiful as you showed us in your photos today.
ReplyDeleteI hope all those effected by the floods will see some beauty and light in the days ahead.
Amazing with the flooding and devastation the butterfly doens't know a thing about it.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine the smell. WOW. This is such a tragedy.
Love from NY heading South in the Morning.

It's terrible what they are having to deal with with the flooding. I am glad Mira's home is safe. She has definitely been through enough lately. Take care, Sheila
ReplyDeleteThat is an excellent shot of the Buckeye butterfly. I never seem to get them just perfect like you did.
ReplyDeleteThanks for helping me to make history.

ReplyDeleteGreat pics, Helen. I heard of the flooding in GA, and I know only too well how bad floodwater stinks.
