The rains came down, but that didn't stop the 12th ward from moving forward with assembling flowers. A garage was converted into a makeshift painting post and everyone made the best of a damp situation. The group planned another evening to finish the job when the weather was more cooperative.
And then there was wind.
What started out as a beautiful, cool evening, ended in a crazy, middle of the night wind storm. Once again the 12th ward met to finish the flowers. All was well. Flowers were hung on the lawn and things were working well, until 4:00 am rolled around. The winds picked up which also woke up the Farrell family, who bolted out of bed in the middle of the night and proceeded to search for the flowers in the neighboring field. The Menloves also jumped into action in the wee hours of the morning to make sure the flowers were safe. Thankfully, everything was recovered. The only thing that was lost was a little sleep.
