Earl's Almost Done Here!

The morning paper didn't lie...it was rather a rough go!! Gardeners in our area, had their bean teepee's toppled, all sorts of perennials flattened, crops damaged and close to us, a number of trees came down. Not willing to actually stand in the torrential rain, we took a few photos from inside the vehicle. This is in a neighbour's front yard:


The Captain had to check on boats.... it was wild on the water but thankfully, no vessels in his care were lost .

The wind is still blowing about thirty or forty knots but Earl is moving on..thankfully. Tomorrow will be a BIG cleanup day...a composting opportunity)))).

  1. I was concerned for you folks... glad to hear that for the most part, your gardens came through, and more importantly, you and your family weren't hurt! L

  3. Hi Brenda - yes, it was wild but fine here. Didn't even lose a tomato! Glad you're good.
