I am so happy for you that you suffered no damage. You have certainly been through a lot with the flooding from last year! Glad to hear that there was no loss of life, too. Too bad about the homes damaged and the total loss of one and the injury. We have been getting tornadoes all the way up here in Washington State the last few years. One went through our area two summers ago and knocked down a barn. The weather is crazy. Glad you are safe.

Radici di Pini mai stanno molto profonde e sono sempre più a rischio. Abbiamo nei dintorni della nostra casa non di più, così solo sani querce e altri. Siamo così felici che tutti i progetti per controllo di acqua hanno mantenuto la nostra casa completamente asciutto. Comunque duro lavoro ripaga così.<br />Sperando che non si verificheranno gravi cose questa settimana a causa del forte vento.

Die Menschen verursachen es ja nicht und wenn man über Verbrauch redet, wieviel Energie kommt frei mit den vielen Vulkanausbrüche? Wir können sogar nicht die Energie messen, die dadurch verloren ist... Viele so genannte Wissenschaftler schreiben ihre Geschichte aber das Universum ist unermesslich und es gibt nur eine Erklärung, dass es irgendwo einen allmächtigen Schöpfer gibt!<br />Ein stabiles Haus ist genauso wichtig als gesunde und stabile Bäume nicht nur die Kiefer die nie tief wurzeln. Wir hatten Gott sei Dank so einen alten 65+ Jahren alter Kiefer umlegen lassen im Dezember.<br />Liebe Grüsse und eine schöne Frühlingswoche.<br />Mariette<br />Mariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-44532696354632178782014-03-10T09:56:22.688-04:002014-03-10T09:56:22.688-04:00Dearest Eva,

Ja, wij hebben wel eens gegrapt dat onze engel bewaarders soms overuren draaien en dat bleek wel weer. Het was zo'n zegen om te horen dat alles in orde was; we konden het eigenlijk nauwelijks geloven en dachten eerst die willen ons niet ongerust maken. Maar tóch, er kwamen goeie berichten van onze vrienden. We voelen ons maar wat gelukkig hiermee en het is meer dan triest dat er één huis helemaal vernield is. Daar zet ik ook geen foto van op mijn blog... het is al erg genoeg. Mensen zijn nog aan het opruimen... we wandelden gisteren even lekker in de buurt.<br />Liefs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-62603947188504731852014-03-09T20:53:03.614-04:002014-03-09T20:53:03.614-04:00Storms like this scare the hell out of me not that...Storms like this scare the hell out of me not that I have ever been in oneJo-Anne's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418152399382818709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-15823384932276181472014-03-09T19:44:44.142-04:002014-03-09T19:44:44.142-04:00Lieve Mariette,

It is very scary but we feel so blessed and we are very happy to have a cat-sitter that watches out for them and for the house. And that big and back breaking water project has been such a great thing for having it completed before departure. It was quite a struggle to get it finished with all the bad weather interruptions but we did it. Now the tiles and it will look beautiful and it has proven already to function very well.<br />We walked yesterday and people were out and about cleaning up branches from the ordeal, soon it will look like nothing ever happened. Roofs still need repairs but they will manage to have that done, nothing that major really.<br />Happy Sunday to you and a sunny week ahead!<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.com
