Rita's Rampage on the Farm
The following are pictures that
have been taken since Rita made her appearance on Saturday morning
September 24, 2005. We had evacuated to Huntsville, but returned
late Wednesday, September 28th. The entry way to the farm was
covered with downed trees, power lines strung everywhere, and
we couldn't make it all the way back. We stayed at our son's
home without electricity. Since no one in our area has electricity
as of this date, we are operating with generators. We have had
family come in to help as well as a church group and we have
hired help also. We plan to open the farm on November 25, 2005.

The trees in
our front yard are history. The sign is in a different location
but you still have a slight view of our house and the flag,
while a bit tattered, is still flying.

Our longhorns
have an open range now with trees down on almost all the fencing.

Looking for a
break in the fence and they found it! They were headed down
the road and after roundup time, too many times, we had to
sell our Longhorns.
