Having been thought that with a Texas house I know how exhausting and defeating it can feel. It take a while before you feel whole again.

I think the wood floors will go back down, as it has happened several times with water on ours. Good time to search the garden centers for plants left over from summer. Maybe a few bargains and a chance to change up the garden or re-do some of it. Easy for me to say.

I'd do the same thing. As for the garden, I bet Ms. Moon is right -- some of those plants may resurrect themselves once they get over the shock!

I bet you that a lot of your plants are healthier than they appear. Also?
