MILD MONTH ENDS WITH HUGE FLOOD

Woke to pouring rain and it has not stopped all day,the roads are flooded tonight and the rain is still coming down with no signs of stopping.
Early this morning when I made my cake deliveries the fields were already full of water.There was no creek or stream any where near this orchard but there was plenty of water.
This was what it looked like driving this morning,I was glad to get home out of this mess.
And yes !! Look for next Thanksgiving's issue of Southern Living magazine and you'll find one of my caramel cakes on the menu for dinner.

I did laundry and housework today along with putting up more decorations.Got the living room tree all decorated and moved my snowman collection into the bay window behind it.The stockings are all hung (in our case) behind the wood stove.My Santa collection now more than fills the mantle .Have you ever seen a poinsetta blooming cactus????
This is a real cactus that I have in the living room and every Christmas I stick poinsetta blossoms all over it and use it as a conversation piece during the holidays.My 12 days of Christmas rug and Christmas quilt chair cover.Smaller quilt makes a seat cover for the couch.This square table cloth that I no longer have a table that it will fit makes a good cover for my entry way bench.I'm hoping it doesn't get really cold before Christmas and we have the need to build a fire in this stove, I'll have a lot of things to relocate !!

I can't believe it is the last day of November,only 1 more month in this year !!! Where has the time gone????
A look back at this month shows a busy one, as the weather has been very mild and dry so outside work could be done easily.
We cleaned off a place where we used to have a chicken lot and made a new one for my hens and silkies.Now I can sit in the sunroom and watch my chickens in their lots.
Hubbie and I made one of our bi-annual trips to the Pickens flea market.
Tore down an old chicken house and wood shed that were eye sores and covered with poison ivy vines.
Had a very nice Thanksgiving and ended the month with Christmas Open House at the Curb Market.Finished the month putting up Christmas Decorations.
The weather turned bad on this last day with pouring rain and we have a major flood tonight and it is still raining.The driver of this car was able to get out safely, I pray that others will be so fortunate.
Wondering what daylight will bring??
Praying for flood victims tonight and giving thanks that I don't have to be out on the roads tonight.
Good Night and God Bless.
