Once again Richard and I leave and a big storm passes through. Hurricane Ike spread rain and wind on up into the middle of the country and hit our area Saturday night.
We could tell it was windy here because our sunflowers are almost all down, small limbs littered the front yard, and the rain gauges were full!
