Yep, LEE, I was still thinking Irene which we got barely any rain from considering how huge a storm it was. I got more rain from Lee than Irene.
You'd be surprised how trees can grow over the years. I have some now that used to be wimpy saplings and are now taller than the house by far. My DD's first Christmas tree, a real Charlie Brown thing was planted in the front yard and is now so big you can climb it (if you want cedar needles down your pants and shirt).
Speaking of trees, time to go unload a trailer full of firewood.
Happy Day!
