The River is Rising!


This has been a typical NC January with every kind of weather, from snow to short-sleeved Spring like days. However, this last rain we had on January 24th, caused the Mighty Yadkin River to spill over into my backyard, making for a great photo opportunity. Part of the Bermuda Run Golf Course had it's own river. There were even currents on the fairway and cart paths completely immersed. Many of my neighbor's fire pits, lawn furniture and other yard accessories have been swallowed by the water. It has been said that this amount of flooding has not been seen for about 10 years.
I think the drought we had a couple of summers ago is long behind us! But, we are merely observing the weather...our prayers are with the families and communities that are truly affected by the flooding.
