But we're good. I have to admit I slept a lot today, probably recovering from the anxiety we've all been experiencing for weeks. Lisa has too but Mr. Moon has been busy, operating the generator, making us coffee, picking up limbs and branches and taking the plywood off the windows.
Lisa and her kids are going to leave to go back home to Tampa tomorrow. She was able to call her husband and they, miraculously, have power. Slightly ironic in that the place evacuated to does not. It's been a lesson and an eye opener for all us to have no communication to speak of with the outside world but the kids have been happy, playing games and messing about with the chickens and collecting eggs.
I am just incredibly grateful that we got such gentle winds and rain and that it's so delightfully and unbelievably cool and that our generator can make lights and phone charging possible. Also, that I have a gas stove. I'm cooking field peas and brown rice and am going to make some skillet cornbread here in a minute.
We are good. We are so very, very good.
Love...Ms. Moon
Yes, that was a total non-event. We've had power since 2 and our cell service never went away. Hermine was a bigger headache than this.
ReplyDeleteMy cousins on the west coast have a little roof damage, lots of debris in their yards, and no electricity. But they say it's cool and once they took the hurricane screens down and opened the windows it was downright relaxing. Our little slice of heaven in Palmetto has an awning off and some skirting missing, but it survived! I'm just glad ole Irma took a slight little turn inland or things would have been much worse.
ReplyDeleteWhew.
ReplyDeleteI am relieved you weathered the storm so well... and have a generator. Our two Friends in various parts of Florida also fared favorably, such a relief, tho' of coarse the devastation is epic and six million plus people without power and services is a catastrophic issue.
ReplyDeleteI'm soooooo glad you're ok! I've been in San Francisco at a retreat and staying with my daughter at night. It is wicked hot here, unseasonably so but what else is new...
ReplyDeleteI've been watching the news and chewing my nails, wondering what fresh hell is in store for us all.
Love and kisses,
Beth
glad to hear you weathered through it all, minus power. But......all in all, that is minor in the big scheme of things. Happy to hear from you and to know you are safe, well and happy

ReplyDeleteSo relieved to hear this! Many thanks for keeping us so well updated at such a difficult time. It's strange to be so anxious on behalf of friends one has yet to meet but your kind heart and generous spirit shine out from your daily posts and you feel very dear and familiar. Hope power is restored as soon as possible Blods xxx
