Irene gave her best shot but...........

.......it wasn't all that bad. Yes we did have lots of rain...around 4+ inches, & wind but not a strong as they predicted, of course we lost power but then again when we live we lose power constantly! Most of the time for no reason. It went out about 8:00am & came back on around 4:30pm. It just meant a very lazy day reading every section of the sunday paper & doing every crossword in it. I even managed to complete the sudoku.......that never happens as the sunday one is the hardest!

These were taken around ninish.

See this branch went right through the shed roof...there is about 3 feet of it inside!

This poor bedraggled bird was one of a few sheltering & getting some food around lunch time!

This is a "redneck" chandelier!

This is almost at the end of the worst part...taken around 4:00pm

This is the Alplaus Kill which is up the street from us.

We took a ride to see how things were in the neighborhood.......lots of trees down but nothing really bad. We spent about an hour after dinner cleaning up part of the yard but it is still really windy so I'm sure it will be a few days until we get it all done.

Today we have a riddle???

What do you get when you cross a pile of scraps, a sewing machine, a woman possessed, & a husband on a week long golf trip? The following......... This is a tablecloth for my kitchen table....forgot to take the finished pic Cover for my sewing machine...very proud of this as I quilted the whole thing. This is the back....got tired of doing squares! Matching cover for my serger. I meant to post these a while ago & must have forgot. I have done a couple other projects since then which I will get around to posting soon. Had computer problems so I have some catching up to do Love

Molly bike riding????

Popster has been teaching Molly to run along side of his bike. It has been a slow process but she's finally getting it. They start off very slowly....... then speed up a little...... which is when she gets crazy& decides to "carry" the leash...... gradually she feels more comfortable.... then she begins to gallop.... & the ears start to flap!!!!!

C of O ....Sun Room...Day Twenty Three-Twenty Five

This came in the mail today which made me realize I never posted the last couple days updates. They really all rolled into one as Jim ended up leaving at noon on Weds...it started to snow & didn't work at all on Thurs. Friday he finished things up by lunch time but had to spend the afternoon emptying my garage of all his tools. We had our inspection on Monday which wasn't a problem. It has been so sunny this week so far so it is so nice to sit in there & enjoy the view! Yes Molly hangs out in her a lot.....I have nose prints to prove she looks out of all the windows!
