Sorry always to hear about the ravages ... grateful always for efforts of responders, resilience of those affected and help from neighbors and strangers.

The devastation of flooding is just mind blowing to me. We drove through Big Thompson Canyon in CO a year after the flood there and it's just so hard to imagine. That book sounds really interesting...I'm off to give it a look!

Then we were flooded only at high tide when the water came back up through the sewers bringing all sorts of YUCK.

I hadn't really considered that the devastation of flooding could also mean the lack of water plus losing so much. Thanks for sharing stories of help and hope, and what sounds like a stellar book recommendation.

We had 10 feet of water in our house when Gaston hit Richmond years ago. The lasting devastation was unimaginable. Love your colorful mittens. They are a great way to use up left over bits and to take your mind off the flood waters.Jeannie Gray Knitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491806030465386877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2087025136491626802.post-91495270987753259212019-03-27T08:01:40.643-07:002019-03-27T08:01:40.643-07:00The floods have been so awful and scary.

It is just heartbreaking to see how much has been lost.<br /><br />Love your fun, colorful mittens - and the line Kat mentions above.<br /><br />The book sounds right up my alley - I'm off to search for it. Have you ever read any of Anne LaBastille books?

I am glad to hear of so many stories of man's humanity to man, though. I continue to hold those affected in NE and IA in my thoughts and prayers. <br /><br />And, this line..."Knitting up mittens is also a way to hold those little hands across the miles." Priceless. What beautiful imagery! AsKatKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10176601489544011641noreply@blogger.com
