The waiting....ugh.

Waiting for Hurricane Irene (I got a ton of ribbing for that since my name is Irene) was like waiting for Christmas day. There was a touch of excitement, but more like "HOLY S**T, I wonder what's going to happen.

I woke up 3am to searing winds and pounding rains. Needless to say I didn't go back to sleep. Every sound had me on edge. I did hear a tree go down, but the house remained standing. By 4pm, winds were just about 20 knots or so, so I crashed. Relief. Nothing lost.

Then there was this "let down", you know that feeling after Christmas? Weird. All that anticipation, and now it was over.

If I see another stick, twig or branch in my yard, I'm going to be ill.

The first picture is absolutely stunning, I love it!
