Thanks Hurricane Matthew!

Well, we made it through the storm, but one of our sixty-plus foot pines in the front yard did not.


And neither did a huge couple of trees in our neighbor's yard who both decided that the grass was greener on our side of the fence.


Luckily the only damage was to some trees and a small section of fence.

Oy ... didn't we move out of Florida because of Hurricanes? Maybe it's time to head to California ... nope, earthquakes. Maye Oklahoma; nope tornadoes. Perhaps Texas? Nope ... Texans.

  1. Good to know you are both safe albeit a little wet and wind blown.
    Trees will grow again and fences can be mended.
    I guess you will have some yard work to do!

  4. Definitely not Texas! I remember being at home on a visit in Texas when Hurricane Hugo came through. Although we were 60 miles north of Houston, the winds took out ten huge pine trees in the yard. Fortunately they fell everywhere except on the house.

    And, yes, Texans.

  12. It looks like a,rain forest in your yard!!! Yes Anne Marie is right. Come to Philly boys! With exception of one bad snowfall, if that, we have it made here. Not to mention all the history and architecture, close jaunt to NYC, Washington Dc and all the beach points. Glad you had very minimal damage there.

    I could live in New Mexico, but Carlos? Maybe not so much! He wasn't so fond of living in Old Mexico.
    @Maddie
    Philly, or Philly adjacent, would be nice!
