We are so blessed that my family was safe. Hopefully I will not have to experience a week like that ever again. I am looking forward to replanting next spring. sigh.

August- A Memorable Month
The last week of August was anything but boring in my neighborhood. We experienced an earthquake, torrential rains, floods, 2 tornadoes and one hurricane. The aftermath of Hurrican Irene was littered all over my front, side and back lawns. Trees were down everywhere. Many of the trees were uprooted and thrown up against the side of the house. Very little damage was done to the house but our pool was completely destroyed. Family and friends volunteered to help clean up the debris with electric saws, hand held saws and a four wheeler to transport the larger trees to the back of the house where another team of volunteers cut up the wood.

Thank you Ina. We are blessed that the house and everyone inside were saved from the hurricane.
Hi Connie, good to see you posting. Hope you feel stronger by the day and are fully recovered soon.
I am only just seeing this. So much to deal with, Connie, on so many levels. I am sending you strong thoughts 2 months late, but maybe you need them now. :-)
Thank you Sashi and Dixie! We were blessed to have so many people helping us with all the debris. The only good thing that came out of the hurricane, is the extra firewood we now have for the winter. :)
