The Floods of 2011


Floods are covering our hay field and the rains rotted the tomatoes left on the vine.

We were lucky not to sustain any home or barn damage but our hearts go out to those that lost power and possesions.  Hopefully no lives were lost.

We work together to help our neighbors in this time of crisis - remember that  hardship can be overcome with the support of other people.
