It's a terribly depressing looking day... no sunshine. The excessive rain we have been having is making my house take on black and green mold again. The grounds are so saturated that planting flowers is out of the question. I have started some seedlings inside hoping that the weather will become favorable for planting soon.


The daughter and I still are having bouts with depression. You would think that after almost three years that we would be over it huh? Nope, it comes and goes. Anita is the author of Did We Survive Hurricane Katrina Or Not, so I helped myself to a quote that she has on her blog that I think describes how most people feel that suffer loss as we have in coastal Mississippi.


"A man's house burns down. The smoking wreckage represents only a ruined home that was dear through years of use and pleasant associations. By and by, as the days and weeks go on, first he misses this, then that, then the other thing. And when he casts about for it he finds that it was in that house. Always it is an essential -- there was but one of its kind. It cannot be replaced. It was in that house. It is irrevocably lost. It will be years before the tale of lost essentials is complete, and not till then can he truly know the magnitude of his disaster..."

-- Mark Twain
