Hurricane is gone and all is well (on November Hill)

Tuesday morning and all is well. Violet taking her morning sun bath.



As usual, I over-prepared for the hurricane potential here, but that’s always a relief when I wake up in the night and here nothing, no wind or hard rain, so it’s back to sunshine and the knowledge that everything got a deep watering yesterday and into the night.

While Pella was here yesterday measuring for our sliding door replacement we had a deluge during the paperwork part of the appointment and this little cutie ran up the dogwood tree to escape the water on the ground. 


North Carolina’s Bertie County, specifically the town of Windsor, had terrible damage from a tornado that spun off in the hurricane’s wake, with one dead and many injured and several people still missing. Everyone in the path beyond us, I send good thoughts for safety.

Glad you're okay and didn't get hit too hard. We got the remnants of the storm I guess. Haven't had electric or internet for a few days. That didn't bother me until the generator stopped working. Lots of trees down and lots of damage.

Of course, at the farm a tree limb came down and took out a portion of fence right by the shed. J. had just brought the horses in and Rosie was still at the gate when it went down. Had she taken them in 5 minutes later they would have all had the limb fall on them. So we were very lucky there. We're all at the farmhouse because there is power and internet here. So we're staying here until we have power back.

Oh, dear, I’m so so glad you and horses and family are all safe but of course sorry you have the damage to contend with and the loss of power and internet! If it’s not one thing it’s twenty, right? Take good care and let’s hope this is it for hurricane action this year.
