We came through Irene just fine. A tree down, but it fell in neigbhor's yard. No damage to house or garden, but like the rest of Branford, no power. Luckily a good friend in North Branford still has power so up I went up to recharge today. No power at the offIce so I don't even have to feel guilty about not paying attention to work! We have running water and hot water too plus the ability to cook on the gas grill (and side burner) and I keep lucking into grocery stores with ice so life is good.

TV says power should be restored soon - maybe even today (Tuesday). Do we believe TV?
Looking forward to some of your storm pix....
did all the ground-anchored landscaped gardens
at the shoreline come through ok?

Up on our hill our house and gardens are fine, but all around us roads and bridges are out. So much rain damage.

Mom -- Well our neighbors have power and we now have an extension cord to their house powering our internet, tv, phones, and computers, so I guess Tuesday sort of. The shoreline is kind of a battlefied. I will do a post with some of the stuff I photographed after the storm.

Commonweeder -- I've heard about the insane flooding that's going on in northern New England. Some of my work colleagues in NH can't get to the office from their homes because bridges are out.
