Hurricane Irene
Irene was not at all as bad as had been expected. Not for us anyway. On our 2 little streets, all of the 17 homes in our neighborhood came out without any catastrophes. A few lil' branches here & there, but everyone is safe & bottom line...that's all that really matters. The tide came up higher than usual, but not as high as predicted. The water covered the dock & came up about 15 - 20 feet past that. My greenhouse survived as did the studio, although at around 5am this morning, I did think the water was coming in, but then it receded. There a several tomato plants down, but out of over 150 plants, we won't miss them too much. The canning has been trying to get the best of us anyway so this will be a welcomed break! (I did pick everything I could before the storm hit.) My dog, Ashley, is not sure if we're moving & is up my butt a little more than usual. Poor old dog. There are literally paths going through my living room at this point from all that I have packed in here from the studio. I don't regret doing it though. That was my insurance that nothing would happen. You know how that goes.
I can say this, we have built this house well. It has survived alot this week, not that I ever had a doubt....ok, once during the earthquake when I didn't know what was going on, a fleeting thought went through my mind that my house was going to fall down, but, all in all, the blood, sweat & tears that went into building our home was all worth it. We know it was built to survive.
I hope this finds you all safe & sound! The tornado that hit in Delaware is down the road from where we spent last weekend. Not everyone has come out of this as well as some of us.
Oh, by the way, did you hear there is another hurricane coming next week?
(Attached images are one of our gardens & the produce I picked before the storm.)

What a week!
What a week, an earthquake, hurricane Irene & 1 tornado warning....Mother Natures Fury.
As many of you know, I live on Patcong Creek in Egg Harbor Township, NJ. We expect many changes in the next 24 hours. Two of my major concerns would have to be water in my studio & loosing my greenhouse. We'll see how that all works out. We may also be seeing what has been the best ever community garden come to an end. We've been under a mandatory evacuation since last night, but I don't expect to be going anywhere. I'm here with my dog, Ashley, & have really done all that I could for storm control over the past few days.
Be safe my friends & keep in touch to let me know what's happening in your area. I would love to hear from you!
