Charlotte is gone........ and so is Irene, well from here anyway.

The storm has passed so I went outside to check if I could see any damage. The only casualty I saw was that Charlotte the Spider has gone and her web destroyed. Guess it couldn't withstand the strong winds. With any luck she didn't get blown away and so will rebuild it. I will miss her as she kept me entertained.

Well it is the quiet after the storm. It is 8:00pm and I have windows open to let the breeze through and Kerbi is outside sitting on the front porch for the first time today. It is dusk now and I can see the trees sway gently in the breeze ...... nothing like they were earlier today.

Here is a photo at 8:00



Our big Bird of Paradise plant in the blue pot got blown over but luckily the pot didn't break. All the furniture staid put during the storm which is great.


Finally here is a picture from the kitchen window as the sun goes down.
