After the Storm

We survived Hurricane Irene with only a yard full of green leaves.  We never lost electricity or water.  We had minimal water coming in our front french doors, but really who cares about that.  It dried up in a couple of hours.  We stayed up 'til about 2 am this morning making sure that the bridges would still be open if I had gotten called into work.  They stayed open and I didn't get called in-two good things.  Although I am still on call today, my mind is at so much more peace about the quick commute than it was less than 24 hours ago.  This next week will be the last of August and we are finishing our summer days in Indiana with family.  Looking fwd to the trip!  Oh, I had mentioned posting photos...there are really none to speak of.  At least none that would merit any "oohs" or "ahhs".  Just green leaves in the backyard.
