IRENE OVER

if you want to see what irene looked like around here go in the shower and turn it on and open your eyes...that how she looked like out the windows...we received heavy rains and winds most of the day started around 3am sunday morning and lasted into the late afternoon...we received over 2 1/2 inches of rain ...of course not as much as places down state and in other states but enough so that we don't have t water the garden...

there was only 1 fire call for a large tree across a road so larry was busy with that for awhile..the fire house is also a place for evacuees can go in case of needing a safe place...luck would have it that it was not needed...but there were provisions in place just in case...

lots of spples have been blown down for the trees so we are going to have to pick them up and take them to the woods for deer food...as a matter of fact momma and her twins were in the back yard this morning but they were after the pears and not the apples...

we have talked to friends who live on the eastern shore of maryland and irene did not do as much damage as she could of...they had put up everything as high as they could get it and even moved their cars to higher ground..bill was up all night moving his boat and making sure the water wasn't coming over the breakwall and they would have to leave...so prayers and lots of preparation helped them out...

irene could have been much worse than she was and thank the good lord she wasn't ..now comes the job of trying to return back to normal...hope all's well with all who affected in one way or another by irene...
