After Hurricane Bill


Hurricane Bill was kinder than expected although he thrashed my flowers [especially lilies] so much that the yard is filled with different colors of petals today. I have to say I was terrified because of all the hype in the media and from our adjoining communities. I looked this morning to make sure my fingerprints weren't in the bottom of the chair I was sitting on. I couldn't relax to hook and the tv was constantly going off because of the oncoming rain. By 1:30 everything was as calm as in the morning before. We have had more wind and rain without any warnings. It reminded me of waiting for a loved one to pass away. Well, Bill did the same thing. It may seem that I am not thankful; surely I am but I could have done without all the terror...
Here is a photo of the wild water around the rocks today. That was the worst of it I think; the surge in the waters....

  1. Hope your veggies didn't get blown away with the lilies. All that hype and I found it exhausting too...

  2. No, Julie, our vegetables did just fine. Made more pickles today. A new one called "Cucumber Pickles". Some cabbage was used { I used some of our Red}.
