After Irene

We were lucky, very lucky. Others were not so fortunate. Vermont got really whacked, as did the Richelieu Valley, again. The power was off for 5-6 hours so I got caught up on some sleep. The trees are still were they should be, the streams and rivers are back down to spring run-off height; they were really roaring last night, a scary sound given the amount of rain. And this morning when I got out of bed the clouds were running east pulling blue sky behind. And the sun rose again.

  1. Before the 3G service on my iPad quit as well late Sunday, I pulled up the radar of Irene and it showed her covering most of Canada. I wondered how you were faring (fairing?) It's good to know you and your loved ones are well.

  4. Thanks Jennifer and Jo and Noella, everyone here is fine, a few roads and culverts washed out but thank goodness nothing like what some of the states are suffering through. So much devastation. We live about 15 minutes north of the boarder and visit New England, especially Vermont frequently. My heart goes out them all.

  5. Liz - good to know you are all OK; the damage in Vermont is devastating, and at times incomprehensible - houses floating by???. Power outages are manageable inconveniences (we have had a few of late) in comparison - glad your garden is well and that you are in denial of autumn!

  6. Thanks so much Fiona, seeing your photos of the emerging spring is bittersweet and while I love autumn, winter follows which always seems 3 x's as long as spring! Go well.
