Fun Before the Fouth

This Post is for Trainboy and DinoGuy who love cars, trucks, tractors and parades. We went on Saturday for the parade. Then Scoutboy had to help with cleanup at the park before the picnic. We had a nice time at the picnic with the music and the band.. The Eddie Buttes Band. They were very lively, had great vocals and could really beat the rhythm. We enjoyed it very much. Scoutboy saw many friends there and we stayed until the fireworks after 10. The fireworks were wonderful.

Fishing Gramma.
I have not been out b/c of the mosquitos.. They have been especially plentiful this year with all of the rain for them to breed in. We were fortunate Saturday as the temperature dropped.
:) love to all. L

More fish pictures..

If you can stand my wiggly camera, at the end is a good picture of the carp that are spawning in the side grass along the road. This of course is not usually covered by water.

River Flooding. It was up about 10 feet. It looks like a lake.

Fireman's Park.

This is a video of the flood waters that hit our town this past weekend. We had three straight days of tornado warnings and a bit of time in the basement.

The power of mother nature is real.
