casualties

A storm came through yesterday, high winds & more rain right after flooding the orchard...not so good. The entire time my husband kept going out into the storm in his galoshes and rain coat.
"There's not a whole lot of good we can do at this point" I said.
"Or we can focus on the other hundreds that stayed put and tell them, "Good Job!"Right honey?"
At least we only lost one :(

So today after things dried up a little we went on a farmers trek of the property. I kept saying, "Good Job trees!" and "Thanks for hunkering down!"
He would look over at me and smile while shaking his head. "Silly girl...do you really think that helps?"

"Wholeheartedly!" I replied :)
and I just kept on thanking those trees for all of their hard work.
