An update from Azealia Acres ๐
Hurricane Isaias destroyed so much, and weโre feeling overwhelmed and defeated by everything that still needs to be done.
We lost all the peanut hay we had just bought for Miss Honey for the winter. Sheโs pregnant and due to calve any day, so losing her hay has been especially hard.
Part of our pole barnโs metal roof blew off, and fallen trees have taken down the fencing around our largest paddock and grazing area. These trees are more than our chainsaws can handle. Eric has already ruined a blade trying to clear them.
A tree also fell into the pig pen, but thankfully the pigs are still contained. Our screened porch roof collapsed too, although Eric thinks he can repair it.
Weโre so grateful to our neighbor Dave for helping remove one of the trees from the fence. That help meant so much to us. โค๏ธ
We could still really use help with the larger trees, clearing the fencing, roof repairs, or finding replacement peanut hay for Miss Honey. If you have equipment, time, or a helpful local contact, please reach out.
Eric is also going to help my dad with his roof while we juggle everything here. My dad has to return his rental van on Monday, which adds another deadline to an already stressful week. ๐
We know so many others are struggling too. Thank you to everyone who has checked on us, helped, or kept our family and farm in your prayers. Weโre taking it one day at a time. ๐
