FAMILY!

they are charming gardeners that make our soul bloom! ~Marcel Proust

High Waters from Extratropical Storm Nicole

It is so funny how Atlantic storms are. We brace for Hurricane Igor, who was a strong Category 4. It brushed our coast as a Category 1. We braced for the worst...which felt like nothing...we were lucky! Then came Extratropical Storm Nicole and what do we get...A FLOOD! Robbie and I headed out to Walmart and took some shots on our way. I have never seen our area flood like it did. It was crazy and a tad bit scary at times! It rained so much that it completely filled Robbie's boat. The news said our area received 21 inches in a day and a half. We only had two minor leaks in our house. There were others in the county whose homes were flooded and many roads were washed out. Once again...we were lucky!
