Irene Has Left the Building!

I'm so glad to hear that all blog land buddies are doing well post-Irene! We have another hour of wind advisory, but we're so pleased Irene did not live up to her initial billing. Here are a few before and after shots for you.

These tree photos show you are greatest casualty today: maple leaves! They are everywhere.




Thankfully all of the trees on our street are intact.



The next street over was not so lucky. We found the source of this morning's power outage. This house lost the lines to their house and has some roof damage.



My apologies for the blurry photos...the light was low, and the wind was still whipping.

At this house, the line to the home was spared.




Hopefully these neighbors will have an easy time with their repairs.

These little guys were very happy when we came home from our walk around the block. They were pretty agitated this afternoon, but now they are calming down for the evening.


The storm could have been so much worse. Thank you for all of your good thoughts and prayers!

  1. Oh I am so glad it wasn't as bad as expected.

    I have now decided, after seeing your motel chairs, that I am going to paint mine yellow.

  2. We're happy too that it wasn't as bad as predicted. Although I'm sure that's cold comfort for people who did have lots of damage. We never lost electricity.

  4. Thanks, Friends! Yes, Martha, let's hope that all of those who suffered in the storm are better soon. Monica, these chairs were yellow when we got them, and I love the color. They were originally red. Rebecca, of course my storm prep also included some new rain boots...gotta love a little reference to Pucci on a dreary day!
