Yet again we are watching a potential storm.
On September 11th we had Francine pass through
with damaging wind and water.
Thankfully we had our generator.
It's so loud, that it could change the
migratory patterns of birds,
but it saved our
food in the fridge and freezer. 😁
Our power went out 5 times in total.
It came on and kept going out.
We had a small window unit
to cool us along with several fans.
It was still hot!
😓
Luckily, this is our only damage.
The tree, a bit of the fence and the gutter on the
corner of the house.
We are grateful that we didn't get
any flood damage.
The water came up past our sidewalk.
Several homes very close to us did flood.
We haven't picked up our
"hurricane supplies" yet,
because the season isn't over.
You never know when you'll
need the generator, extension cords,
batteries, candles and matches again.
I can't wait for cooler weather!!
*********************
There's no herbs or veggies growing
because they were blown to bits
in the wind and rain.
As soon as the storm season passes,
we'll prep the beds for cool
weather crops.
I found a dead Monarch butterfly
in a pot filled with water,
the day after the storm.

We have our indoor plants
that are doing well.
String of Pearls Succulent
Topsy Turvy Succulent
This little spiky guy is a
Zebra Haworthia Succulent
Purple Cymbidium Orchid
Love this plant!
The CEO gave it to me on Mother's Day
a few years ago.
It blooms about once a year.
I don't do anything special,
except that it lives on my kitchen
windowsill above the sink,
and I water it about once a month.
******************************
Today is Monday,
so,
it's a rule in the NOLA
area that we eat red beans and rice.
My crockpot is full of beans and sausage!
The house smells heavenly!!
Yeah,
there's really no leaves turning
in this area.
If you want to see autumn leaves,
you're gonna have to go to
Hobby Lobby.
Here's a prayer that this
new storm doesn't do
any damage
and God bless the
people affected by
hurricane Helene.
🙏
💚💙💖
