Post mortem, terrace


Well, she blew by. We were up on the roof somewhere in the wee hours, maybe sometime after 3, as something was rolling around and I thought a satellite dish had worked itself loose. A gust must have blown whatever it was off before I got up there with a flashlight. I found nothing. 

Now, dry air, tugging wind, a collapsed New Dawn rose, but otherwise it is all over. We have a bathful of clean water. Maybe I'll snorkel in it.

We will go out and have a look. Good mushroom weather.

    I'm glad to read you are all safe, and the damage is minimal. Our turn now in Boston. The storm seems weakened but in 25 years here I have never seen wind like this, a strong gale in one direction, then the next moment, equally strong in the opposite direction. Overall not too bad so far.

    But a whole new look for the terrace! I thought of shrooms too, but will wait a few days. Staten Island??

    Oh, thank goodness! I was worried for your plants. And, you know, for you. But mostly the plants. ;)

    Rachel - but I like snorkeling :-)

    John - how was your rain,then? VT doesn't look too good.

    revel gardener - heirlooms tomorrow. Wobbly tuna mousse tonight!

    Frank - Yes, Staten Island. When? Hoping for some chickens...hmmm.

    Monica, thanks very much.

    Rob - I am hoping so. From what others are posting the ground is making little popping noises as they break the surface.

    Carol - thanks, no, nothing for us, we were lucky.

    Tzipporah - your concern for the plants is touching :-)Tomorrow, the big rearrange...some heavy lifting.

    So glad you are all safe. Mother Nature is making her noise on the East Coast this Summer. I hope she is finished because everyone needs some peace. On the other hand, I am looking forward to our first rain because our California ground is so dry this time of year. We sometimes have mushrooms growing in our winter ground, but I imagine you will soon have an abundance. New mushroom recipes soon to follow?
