It is still raining here. The forecast calls for rain at times heavy, with the chance of a thunderstorm today. High 73 F or 23 C.

I hope you get your power back soon, Dave Crossing Fingers!

Cloudy, warm, 82. Some unexpected showers are thinking about raining for the next few hours. Oh, wait, there they go. It just started raining.

I sure hope this will be over before I have to climb on a boat this afternoon at 4:00. I'm playing a Harbor Cruise Retirement party. Don't get to do THAT every day. In fact, this is literally the first time I will be doing that.


Ok, so now it's seriously pouring. Good thing I decided against gardening today. Sighing!

Power is now "estimated" to be restored by 10pm tomorrow night. At least the wind has died down to normal.
Thank You! for all your concern.

Yes, I remember when Hurricane Rita knocked the power out in Houston, TX several years ago and we spent a couple of days staying with friends because of the extreme
heat and we left the house with all the windows open and hoped the house would not be in to bad a shape when we returned. We took our cats with us because it was too
hot to leave our babies behind!!

That is a long power outage, Dave. I hope it is restored on schedule, or even better, earlier than estimated.

It is still raining here. If it keeps up until about 11:30 p.m. this evening, it will be 48 hours pretty much non-stop.

It was totally distracting…we were gently plying the waters in Boston Harbor and all these beautiful views, sunset, clouds, cityscape and cool sailboats kept floating by. I had to keep telling myself not to look up, so I wouldn't get lost…

Dave hope you get that power back soon. Are you still on the generator?

77/45 and mostly sunny today and I have the day off to play outside Hurray!
I've been asked if I would have my gardens on the Region 1 American Daylily Society garden tour next summer. Iowa, Manitoba, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota, are in Region 1 and I agreed to do it. Anyone want to help me remulch all the gardens next spring Whistling Whistling Green Grin!

Beautiful place to play, Zoia!

Ginny, that is very exciting. Your gardens are always beautiful Lovey dubby

It stopped raining sometime overnight. The forecast for today is mainly cloudy with a 40 % chance of showers. High 68 F or 20 C.

That is discouraging about your power, Dave. I hope it comes back this evening.
