We just got thru Ian. I live in Winter Haven FL and we took a direct hit. Thank god we only have outside yard and tree damage. Everyrhing is closed here as power is being restored as quick as they can. It was a long scary night. Prayers for you and the farm. Keep us posted please Jess.🙏❤
My sons live in Lakeland (1 goes to SEU and the other is Grad of Webber). Prayed for them all night!! God is good! Glad you did ok! I'll add you to my list.
Lifting you all in prayer. We just got back into our home a few weeks ago from Hurricane Ida. Our home had to be gutted and our lives were turned upside down. Everyone tells you how to prepare for the storm, but no one tells you how to cope through the recovery process.
@Kelly Besse , Kelly, I am so sorry. This is true heart break, and Mother Nature is a force of life that none of us can defend against, totally. Please focus on you loved ones and I’m just so very sorry, and feel completely powerless, knowing that all your local community support, is likely, also, in a weakened position, in terms of giving any comfort or aid. I know people will come whom can provide some small comforts, and the little acts of kindness and human connection and compassion, and lend you their faith, in a time when your world is upside down, inside-out or feels like is gone. Time won’t restore everything, but it can restore your spirit. Hold on .. a train is coming (metaphorically)to bring you wherever you need to be. And, the strength and the love and community you need to slowly, recover, are already delivered. 🙏☝️💔🛡⚔️🤝😥 🤗 🤗💪☀️💫🕊🕊☯️🌹..we will keep a light on, and remember you in our days, nights, prayers and actions. I imagine you’ve seen the sunrises since the storm crashed in. Please try to find, ask, or borrow any hope you’ve lost. Accept the strength of others, we all need to learn to lean on our brothers & sisters in our Sacred Human Family, because the sun will continue to rise, however we are ALL going to continue to be tested, and forced to change...ALL OF US, in some way or other, and if any of us are going to make it, we all need to bring everyone along who is faithful, willing, but also those frightened, weak,and without a fortified Spirit, who truly need to be rescued, and don’t know their way home. So, I will not forget you, and with every sunrise I pray you’ll get the strength you need to renew your Spirit, daily, and help someone who may need saving. Sometimes when we’re completely defeated and powerless, it’s in surrender, acceptance, and helping one another, being there for one another, The gets us through the darkness. Fear not, He knows already, and you will be restored, stronger than before. God Bless Kelly, 🙏☝️🌎🕊☀️🌹💜🌟🤝💪☮️🤗❤️🤗💫 You are Never Alone - Nature is a great equalizer, and we need to recalibrate our liver, and “simplify”, for the coming seasons. Understand what we really need, and what we do not. And, we are all going to reconcile with this new way of living. More will be revealed. Keep your eyes, your mind and your heart open to what is on the horizon. I pray Oder is restored in your life, in a simpler, more valuable way, together with all Life on Earth, sacred humanity, and also all living things. Our Creator has got us, and we need to let the Divine run the world, no more false, shiny, distractions or fantastical aspirations. Life is Good and we must revere, reserve, and conserve it. You’re going to be okay, Kelly. Be aware, and you will see “the way”. A Higher Way, starting in the soil and the seas. And within a new paradigm, led by Our Father.I wrote a bit of a letter, just Incase you need a moment of quiet distraction. I’ve nothing more to offer right now, but I do have Love and Faith and a Hopeful Vision, and it’s All Yours, to take from, if you ever need.❤🙏☝️☀️
I’m a native Floridian. I’ve been through too many hurricanes. Ian included, I’m just north of Tampa. I down stacked my Greenstalk and filled my garden shed with all my potted plants, took the cover off my greenhouse. My yard is a mess now that the storm has passed, large limbs and branches are everywhere. I will be spending the next several days cleaning my 2.7 acres. Player for all those who have had endure the wrath of Ian.
Native Orlando friend. I clumped mine together and moved other plants to wind break and all made it through unbelievably well. God bless everyone affected by this storm.
If you have time freeze some gallons of water so you have block ice in your freezer to keep your food longer. Put some in the ice box as well. That is what saved a good bit of my food when ida hit.
Father God. I lift up Jess and her family and ask your safe keeping thru this storm. Be with all those who have come thru Ian and suffered loss. May they turn to you in their time of need. In the name of Jesus I pray.
Florida girl here , thankfully we fared well through the storm here . Pray for those that took a direct hit further south from us . A terrible storm with lots of damage done and flooding. Prayers go out to them and prayers go up for you and your farm 🙏❤️
Florida gardner here and we hung our shutters yesterday. 5 hour job for us in our 70s but you have a sense of security knowing you did everything you could. We were just on the borderline from where the storm passed and we only got light rain. Can't begin to tell you how grateful we are that it missed us. Buy, so sorry about everyone it did hit. Terrible devastation everywhere. Hoping you avoid the hurricanes path and wishing you well. Zone 9a
We live in Christmas,FL. It's a little town near east orlando. It was an extremely long night of howling winds and rain. My miniature jersey cows look exhausted. Most neighborhood streets are underwater and without power. Prayers to all affected by the storm and in its current path.
Since I am seeing this a day later, prayers that you all are safe. May I ask for prayers for a dear 88 yr old friend in Ft. Meyers. She lost her husband in February to Covid and now her home is a total loss. Great full that she was evacuated before storm hit. But all she has now is what fit in backpack. God bless and keep you safe. 🙏
When Zetta came through N. Georgia, as far away as we were from shore, you would not believe the amount of damage we had. No power for a week. We lost massive trees that were over 200 years old. Stay safe.
Praying for everyone and everything in the path of Ian. Living on the gulf coast I've been through a couple of direct hits. Oh, from a plant nursery point of view, it's best to lay down the trees to avoid limb breakage.
Metal roofs like to peel off and go rouge in a hurricane or tropical storm. There's nothing scarier than trying to hold your windows as they are popping out and seeing corrugated metal flying by!! A tree falling nearby is pretty scary too. We've lost or had damage to four different homes due to these storms. I'm never as prepared as I think I am. Prayers for safety!!
Was literally just thinking of you when this hit my notifications. Hunker down and stay safe. our thoughts are with you and yours - and all those in harm's way.
Waiting to hear if you are all safe and sound. I pray you are all safe, your children, your animals and investments, all your plants and your commitment. Prayers to all!
💚 Blessings for safety and minimal damages for Roots and Refuge and All those being affected by the current hurricane and those yet to come this season. 💚
I'm just a few hours north of you in NC. We need the rain but I pray for everyone's safety. I still have memories of Hugo's destruction inland. Bear is a dear soul!!
We live about 40 miles from where Hugo made landfall-it got pretty bad here. Someone asked me this week if it was scaring me to know that Ian could be headed our way. I honestly answered that I’m not-we lived through Hugo. Prayers for the people who’ve been so badly affected by this storm.
Thank you for posting this vlog today. I've been worried about you since I heard that IAN was headed to SC. Please keep us posted. Praying for everyone in IAN's path.
Yup bringing in anything that could blow around, like the stuff on your porch and outside by the close garden is essential. The strangest things show up in my yard after a storm. 🙄 Stay safe.🙏
Ian just passed me near the villages FL, I had to hunker down in my camper on the farm with my 2 huskies and 3 cats. The wind got pretty serious and tossed us around a bit but I did strap the camper down the best I could. All the animals on the farm are doing well but most the birds in chicken tractors are a bit shook up. Tomorrow the weather should be clear enough to put all the premier fencing back up and hopefully put the birds back on pasture. Very fortunate it wasn’t worse. Y’all be safe
Stay safe, we just experienced Ian, strong winds, rain and even lightning. Lot of trees down and flooded roads. Hope it goes well for you and your family. its been a tough few days, waiting for it to get here and then going thru it, but we are ok. Stay Safe!!
Just got finished hunkering everything down outside myself. I live close to the Georgia coast not far from Savannah amd although we aren't on the direct path we will still get rain and winds. Everyone stay safe and prayers for those in Florida who took a much worse hit than us.
I'm on Wilmington Island. Sounds like we are expecting winds and rain. No storm surge. It will be scary for Jess and family as it is their first. Take care.
All is right with the world when you look into a puppies eyes. What a joy it was seeing them. I know your boys had a blast with them. Hoping you all are safe and will be waiting for your post when you come out the other side.
Prayers of safety for you and your family! We are in Jupiter, Fl and the winds last night and today were worse than yesturday. My pepper and sunflower did not stand a chance. Praying for all our fellow Floridians and all those yet to be affected by this terrible devastating hurricane.
Prayers for your safety. My husband works with disaster relief and is heading down today to start helping with recovery. Pray for all of the people traveling today , that they will be safe , healthy, and able to help those in need . Thank you .
Joining in prayer for your safety! I grew up in south Florida and remember those storms like they were yesterday! God bless all of you, your animals, and your property! 💕
It's definitely no joke. We went through Irma as a category 1 when we lived in Jackson, GA in a camper and another category 1 that hit Jacksonville, FL in 2009 I think. Even tropical depressions can be dangerous. I hope everything goes as smoothly as it can for you guys!
Jess, I really think you’ll be fine. We’re in the Lowcountry and have been keeping an eye on Ian. If it comes in as a Cat 1 as predicted, I think you’ll get through it just fine. You’ve secured your property-now say your prayers and get some rest. BTW-your eyes look much improved today. 😊. With eczema any improvement is always a cause for thankfulness. Take care-God bless!
Florida girl here. I just went through Ian living in Brooksville, Florida…. Prayers for all who will be feeling the remnant of Ian…. Prayerfully Ian will spare you as it did my family in The Tampa Bay Area! Sending blessings and prayers to you and your family.
Stay safe Jess and family. I was hoping it wouldn't hit you and your farm. I have been thinking of you all. Take care stay safe! Sending 🙏 to you all and everyone impacted by Ian in Florida.
Those are some beautiful puppies ❤️🥰😘prayers to all on the trip home, prayers to y'all and any other person's or pets or animals trapped by the storm!! God be with you today and always. We love y'all
Just went through Ian, here from central Florida. It was a very scary night for us…we didn’t have much damage but I got completely scare when in the middle of the night a big branch felt into my chicken coop…thank God my chickens survive and nothing bad happen. Praying for everyone safety and recovery from this storm. 🙏🏼❤️
My first weekend in South Carolina was Hurricane Hugo!! Welcome to South Carolina, we lived in Chester, SC it was the tornados that made us cut our way back into the driveway. You guys please be careful. Our prayers are with you guys. I hope you have a place to go in a tornado. As you know mobile homes are not safe. I pray Papa T's has such a place. On a lighter note...OH THOSE SWEET PUPPIES!! I know the kids had a blast!!
@@TerrieAllred2023I loved living in Chester!! It was my first time being on my own. I worked in a cash off for a store. The store was closed and I was transferred or I would probably still be there. It was a fun time!! There's so many farm's there now. I have thought of taking my kids to the Cyclone! And Blackstock Fish Camp. I really miss living in South Carolina.
@@donnacochran3335 Loved the Fish Camp! Great food! I live near the coast of Wilmington NC now. The hurricane is on us, but not too bad. I've been in much worse, praise God.
@@TerrieAllred2023 I'm glad it's not so bad. You guys can sure get a lot of hurricanes there to but what a beautiful part of the country. Praying for your safety.
LOVED the Aussie pups! I have an 8 year old male and may consider another. Sure hope all is well with you guys. I'm in NC, been a follower for a couple years now and have learned so much of what I know about gardening because of you and your channel here. I can't thank you enough for your dedication and commitment to the artful craft of what should be a ready Human skill. Please don't stop! You are reaching so many in such a meaningful way. All of God's best to you, you are always in my prayers!
You are in our prayers. I hope it will be fine and not flooding rain or destructive wind. It was horror in SW Florida for many in Fort Meyers, Sanibel and Captiva and surrounding islands plus many other spots such as Naples. Even the NE Coast got floods in St. Augustine (a place that is prone to flooding at times but this was much worse). Glad you have that barn!
I'm in Naples... My family were very fortunate... There is a lot of devastation here. 🙏praying for all that had it worse.... And those still in Ian's path.
I'm in Mountains last hurricane we had blew a triple oak tree across my entire house. Scariest thing to ever happen. That sound was terrifying. I worry because my house is surrounded all sides by hundreds of huge trees. Stay safe everyone. Stay close to the Lord🙏💕
My sisters dad lives on an island in Florida which was directly hit by Ian. He was able to make it off the island at the last minute, but was still caught in the eye of the storm right off the coast. We couldn’t get in touch with him for almost 24 hours but finally learned he’s safe. Now he’s trying to get back to the island to see what’s left of his house. My prayers go out to you, your family, and your animals that everyone is safe and the damage is minimal ❤
My mom lives in Naples Florida and thankfully she only lost power and the surge didn't make it up to the house. Hoping and praying for your safety and that the damage is limited!
Prayers for all our hurricane impacted friends, Canadian, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Floridian, S & N Carolinian - I'm sure I missed some in the Caribbean. Wishing you all peace, safety and comfort.
We just got through hurricane Fiona here on the east coast of Canada and still don't have power a week later, watching your videos when I can find a connection has been keeping me sane! Good luck with Ian!
Miss Jess I hope and pray to God that this finds you intact with no problems maybe a little bit of extra rain that you might have needed but I hope pray to God that you guys didn't get affected by so much by the whole storm thing and that you had no tornadoes or any bad stuff I've been praying for everybody in your state too and praying that nothing bad would happen I live in the state of Florida and we're just waiting to see what's going to happen I am so sad for everyone who's been hurt and the people that have been killed in the other states I've been praying for everyone God bless you and if you need anything let us know
I hole everything turns out ok where you live. The eyewall came right past us here in Central Florida at a Cat. 4- Cat. 2.. We are all ok thank goodness, no major damage to the house, garden or chicken coop we built.. Hope your family stays safe during the storm. That was the most powerful and scariest storm I've ever been through in the 14yrs I've been living here. Keep us posted. 🙏
Hi Jess. Here in Prince Edward Island Canada we just suffered through Hurricane Fiona.We had 150 mile per hour winds (about 93 miles per hour) Beef and dairy farmers lost their entire herds when barns collapsed. High tunnel frames are still standing but their covers are gone. Our greenhouses were wiped out. The devastation is unbelievable. Our RV camper was picked up and slammed back down. I think Hurricane Ian is even worse. I'm glad you're not directly in it's path. I pray for you and everyone else experiencing this.
So sorry to hear about this, I live in Alberta and sometimes I am truly grateful for that...no hurricanes or earthquakes, once in awhile there is a tornado, but nothing like the ones in the states.
Australian Shepherds have been our breed of choice for years: 2 blue merles female, 1 red merle male who is now 14….love those faces. 🥰 I volunteered for Guide Dogs and was in charge of socializing the 8 week old Lab Retrievers! What a job! But I would take me a Bear any old day for my best friend!
OMG! I love Aussie's. I lost my boy a year ago at the age of 16. I miss him so much and seeing these puppies was so joyful and sad for me. My grandkids brought me a puppy 2 months after I lost my Aussie(that was his name) but he is a mixed breed and of course I feel in love with him but at my age I could not handle 2 puppies. Aussie's are an all around wonderful breed.
Jess, you and your family have our prayers for your safety. My son and I spent 2-3 days, closer to 2 days in a hurricane shelter. Since we don't have a generator, and since I have asthma (which at this point is very well controlled), but, if an attack should occur, I need power to run my nebulizer. I have, in the past, had attacks that were pretty scary, but which the nebulizer meds stopped. So, we just don't risk being out of power for any extended length of time. Where we live, we were mostly spared the worst effects of Hurricane Ian, and in fact, did not even lose power, so we were homeward bound at the earliest possible moment. My prayers are also with those in South/Southwest Florida who have suffered so much. I heard a news broadcast that as of this moment, 21 souls have lost their lives, and that toll is expected to rise. My heart grieves for these losses. I pray that Ian's effects will be much less in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. God bless you and yours, and may He keep you all safe.
Love you sweet friend! Thanks for having us! ❤
Love your puppies!!
I love your puppies too. So so adorable
I was just looking at those puppies on IG for our new farm! How funny they are on this video now, lol. We LOVE the white/tan one!
Lovely puppies adorable! Are they Aussie collies? Just curious! Reminds me of dogs I grew up with!
@@ruth.greening They are Australian Shepherds!
We just got thru Ian. I live in Winter Haven FL and we took a direct hit. Thank god we only have outside yard and tree damage. Everyrhing is closed here as power is being restored as quick as they can. It was a long scary night. Prayers for you and the farm. Keep us posted please Jess.🙏❤
In North Florida. Near Panama City. We were really terrified of another Michael. I’m sending prayers your way. I’m so sorry y’all got the direct hit.
Praise God your ok
My cousin lives in Winter Haven. Glad it wasn't too dad where you're at

I brought my GreenStalk into my bedroom. We were lucky in Central Florida.
It was a big storm and I am a 3rd generation native of Central FL. My family and friends are still there so my thoughts and prayers are with you all
If you have time freeze some gallons of water so you have block ice in your freezer to keep your food longer. Put some in the ice box as well. That is what saved a good bit of my food when ida hit.
You nailed the Ryan Hall Y'all, "Don't be scared, Be Prepared" Those puppies though! They would be going home minus 1 or 2 if they visited me. 😁
Father God. I lift up Jess and her family and ask your safe keeping thru this storm. Be with all those who have come thru Ian and suffered loss. May they turn to you in their time of need. In the name of Jesus I pray.

💜🙏 all along the way.
Haven't heard about that, but of course it's not in the USA, so the news probably didn't share it.
I saw that briefly on the news... praying for them!

Jess, I really think you’ll be fine. We’re in the Lowcountry and have been keeping an eye on Ian. If it comes in as a Cat 1 as predicted, I think you’ll get through it just fine. You’ve secured your property-now say your prayers and get some rest. BTW-your eyes look much improved today. 😊. With eczema any improvement is always a cause for thankfulness. Take care-God bless!
Florida girl here. I just went through Ian living in Brooksville, Florida…. Prayers for all who will be feeling the remnant of Ian…. Prayerfully Ian will spare you as it did my family in The Tampa Bay Area! Sending blessings and prayers to you and your family.
Stay safe Jess and family. I was hoping it wouldn't hit you and your farm. I have been thinking of you all. Take care stay safe! Sending 🙏 to you all and everyone impacted by Ian in Florida.

Just went through Ian, here from central Florida. It was a very scary night for us…we didn’t have much damage but I got completely scare when in the middle of the night a big branch felt into my chicken coop…thank God my chickens survive and nothing bad happen. Praying for everyone safety and recovery from this storm. 🙏🏼❤️
Praying for you, your family, your garden and your farm animals. 🙇♀️
Keep up the good work
God bless you
Awe those puppies are precious
I love seeing Bear run along with the side by side.
My first weekend in South Carolina was Hurricane Hugo!! Welcome to South Carolina, we lived in Chester, SC it was the tornados that made us cut our way back into the driveway. You guys please be careful. Our prayers are with you guys. I hope you have a place to go in a tornado. As you know mobile homes are not safe. I pray Papa T's has such a place. On a lighter note...OH THOSE SWEET PUPPIES!! I know the kids had a blast!!
Wow! What a welcome! Hugo was no joke. We took in tons of evacuees at our schools her in Augusta.
I grew up in Lugoff SC and Hugo was a BEAST!! My Aunt Nadine lives in Chester.
@@TerrieAllred2023I loved living in Chester!! It was my first time being on my own. I worked in a cash off for a store. The store was closed and I was transferred or I would probably still be there. It was a fun time!! There's so many farm's there now. I have thought of taking my kids to the Cyclone! And Blackstock Fish Camp. I really miss living in South Carolina.
@@donnacochran3335 Loved the Fish Camp! Great food! I live near the coast of Wilmington NC now. The hurricane is on us, but not too bad. I've been in much worse, praise God.
@@TerrieAllred2023 I'm glad it's not so bad. You guys can sure get a lot of hurricanes there to but what a beautiful part of the country. Praying for your safety.
LOVED the Aussie pups! I have an 8 year old male and may consider another. Sure hope all is well with you guys. I'm in NC, been a follower for a couple years now and have learned so much of what I know about gardening because of you and your channel here. I can't thank you enough for your dedication and commitment to the artful craft of what should be a ready Human skill. Please don't stop! You are reaching so many in such a meaningful way. All of God's best to you, you are always in my prayers!
I'm keeping you guys in my prayers. I've been thinking of you all as I heard the projected path of the storm.
You are in our prayers. I hope it will be fine and not flooding rain or destructive wind. It was horror in SW Florida for many in Fort Meyers, Sanibel and Captiva and surrounding islands plus many other spots such as Naples. Even the NE Coast got floods in St. Augustine (a place that is prone to flooding at times but this was much worse). Glad you have that barn!
I'm in Naples... My family were very fortunate... There is a lot of devastation here. 🙏praying for all that had it worse.... And those still in Ian's path.
Prayers of peace and protection for you and your family always.
Thank you all for checking in and letting us know you are okay so far! Such a fun time with your friend's visit with their sweet puppies!
I'm in Mountains last hurricane we had blew a triple oak tree across my entire house. Scariest thing to ever happen. That sound was terrifying. I worry because my house is surrounded all sides by hundreds of huge trees. Stay safe everyone. Stay close to the Lord🙏💕
Hope you'll all be safe & your animals & people you love, your store & greenhouses all make it through this storm unscathed.
Prayers for the safety of your family and surrounding area.
My sisters dad lives on an island in Florida which was directly hit by Ian. He was able to make it off the island at the last minute, but was still caught in the eye of the storm right off the coast. We couldn’t get in touch with him for almost 24 hours but finally learned he’s safe. Now he’s trying to get back to the island to see what’s left of his house. My prayers go out to you, your family, and your animals that everyone is safe and the damage is minimal ❤
OMG puppy spam is just lovely 🥰
My mom lives in Naples Florida and thankfully she only lost power and the surge didn't make it up to the house. Hoping and praying for your safety and that the damage is limited!
Stay safe. Praying for everyone in the path of the storm.
Awe! I want a puppy like she was carrying before they left.
Hunker down, relax and enjoy the downtime with your family.
You are all in my prayers. Stay safe.❤️❤️🙏🙏
Prayers for all our hurricane impacted friends, Canadian, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Floridian, S & N Carolinian - I'm sure I missed some in the Caribbean. Wishing you all peace, safety and comfort.
Prayers that you do not have any damages and everyone stay safe.
Yes praying for you for safety and those who are suffering from this hurricane.
God be with you guys and everyone in Ian's path! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤗🤗🤗
I am in the upstate of SC and the wind made a great big mess in the garden but so far no damage!
Sending love Jess and Miah. Stay strong. This too shall pass.
We just harvested everything from the garden we could tonight. Most likely getting just rain, but it will be heavy tomorrow
Praying over you all, for calmer winds and the Lords protection over you all!😘🙏
We just got through hurricane Fiona here on the east coast of Canada and still don't have power a week later, watching your videos when I can find a connection has been keeping me sane! Good luck with Ian!
Good luck kids! Prayers for safety and no damage 🙏
Praying for your family and farm hang on tight
Miss Jess I hope and pray to God that this finds you intact with no problems maybe a little bit of extra rain that you might have needed but I hope pray to God that you guys didn't get affected by so much by the whole storm thing and that you had no tornadoes or any bad stuff I've been praying for everybody in your state too and praying that nothing bad would happen I live in the state of Florida and we're just waiting to see what's going to happen I am so sad for everyone who's been hurt and the people that have been killed in the other states I've been praying for everyone God bless you and if you need anything let us know
Sending you prayers! My husband is in Florida to restore power with the powerlineman convoy from Minnesota! Hoping for the best for all in the path!
You have done all you can to protect yourselves, your animals and your plants. 🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕🌻🌻
Prayers and thoughts for everyone going through Hurricane Ian. 🙏🏼🤗 Hold on and think of adorable puppies!
I hole everything turns out ok where you live. The eyewall came right past us here in Central Florida at a Cat. 4- Cat. 2.. We are all ok thank goodness, no major damage to the house, garden or chicken coop we built.. Hope your family stays safe during the storm. That was the most powerful and scariest storm I've ever been through in the 14yrs I've been living here. Keep us posted. 🙏
I pray that you and your family stay safe 🙏 ❤️
Hi Jess. Here in Prince Edward Island Canada we just suffered through Hurricane Fiona.We had 150 mile per hour winds (about 93 miles per hour) Beef and dairy farmers lost their entire herds when barns collapsed. High tunnel frames are still standing but their covers are gone. Our greenhouses were wiped out. The devastation is unbelievable. Our RV camper was picked up and slammed back down. I think Hurricane Ian is even worse. I'm glad you're not directly in it's path. I pray for you and everyone else experiencing this.
So sorry to hear about this, I live in Alberta and sometimes I am truly grateful for that...no hurricanes or earthquakes, once in awhile there is a tornado, but nothing like the ones in the states.
I am so sorry to hear this. ❤️❤️
Australian Shepherds have been our breed of choice for years: 2 blue merles female, 1 red merle male who is now 14….love those faces. 🥰 I volunteered for Guide Dogs and was in charge of socializing the 8 week old Lab Retrievers! What a job! But I would take me a Bear any old day for my best friend!
Prayers for you and your sweet family ! I love your heart ! Thank you
Sending all prayers to Anybody that is impacted on this hurricane God bless you all and be safe
Prayers for the storm, thanks for the knowledge of preparation. That’s something we all need to know before hand . I’m in NC and I prepared today.
Praying for y'all!
OMG! I love Aussie's. I lost my boy a year ago at the age of 16. I miss him so much and seeing these puppies was so joyful and sad for me. My grandkids brought me a puppy 2 months after I lost my Aussie(that was his name) but he is a mixed breed and of course I feel in love with him but at my age I could not handle 2 puppies. Aussie's are an all around wonderful breed.
Prayers Jess!
Sending prayers that everything turns out well!!!
Jess, you and your family have our prayers for your safety. My son and I spent 2-3 days, closer to 2 days in a hurricane shelter. Since we don't have a generator, and since I have asthma (which at this point is very well controlled), but, if an attack should occur, I need power to run my nebulizer. I have, in the past, had attacks that were pretty scary, but which the nebulizer meds stopped. So, we just don't risk being out of power for any extended length of time. Where we live, we were mostly spared the worst effects of Hurricane Ian, and in fact, did not even lose power, so we were homeward bound at the earliest possible moment. My prayers are also with those in South/Southwest Florida who have suffered so much. I heard a news broadcast that as of this moment, 21 souls have lost their lives, and that toll is expected to rise. My heart grieves for these losses. I pray that Ian's effects will be much less in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. God bless you and yours, and may He keep you all safe.
Always praying for your protection, above, around, below, within!!! ❤🙏❤🙏❤
