Miss Hurricane Irene

Miss Hurricane Irene brought lots of rain and wind Friday night and all day Saturday. Our power was lost  at 11am Saturday and returned at 2am Monday, although for most of that time we were able to borrow Tony's parents generator. During the storm, we mostly stayed snuggled inside on the couch. The blinds and doors were open so that we could take in some of the action happening outside. And my pretty raincoat was put to good use a few times. When it comes to storms, I definitely have a bit of my dad in me -- wanting to get a closer look and feel of the storm. From the inside, it was kind of comical to watch our newly built fence fall apart one panel at a time and land flat on our little hedge trees that we've been trying to grow for 3 years. :) Thankfully none of the panels broke beyond repair and we are only missing one. It must have taken flight. Repairs are coming along nicely.

Some weekend activities included, a pancake breakfast while we still had power, reading, crocheting, scrabble, revamping ShaynaMade and Seedshakers, a workout, some finishing touches on our sunshiney painting (pictures coming soon), movie time, popcorn, sun coffee, and lots of togetherness time. :)
