Take that Irene!
Needless to say we survive hurricane Irene. Friday afternoon she started to roll in and the clouds looked pretty awesome. On Saturday there was just a lot of wind and rain but nothing really crazy. I went to my hair appointment and the power flickered a few times while I was there but it never went out.
That afternoon Matt and I pretty much just vegged out since there wasn’t much to do. We only lost power once for maybe 2 minutes. What’s funny is it wasn’t really raining or even that windy when the power went out. Later that afternoon once things had calmed down, we walked around our neighborhood. This is when we got to see the damage.
Our street sign was knocked down. When, neither of us are sure.
Tree limbs from the neighbors tree.
As you can see it was really not bad at all here. We were right on the edge of the storm. Of course many places to the east of us did not fair so well. Lots of flooding and damage. Roads washed out, thousands are still without power. I’m sure the clean up effort from this storm will take a long time. But we can be thankful it wasn’t bad here.

Time for a change?
A blog change that is. It’s been about 3 months since I set the new blog up and while I like my current blog theme I feel like it might be time for a change. {Holy Crap tomorrow will be 3 months! Love ya hon!} It took me a while to even find a theme I liked so I don’t imagine finding another one will be really easy. Thankfully I bookmarked a link to hundreds of themes. I guess I will start looking around to see what I can find.
Yes I know it’s Friday and there are no pics. I’m awful. I plan to go on a little road trip this weekend to take a few pics. And by road trip I mean I want to run over to Edwards Mill {it’s a road, a road I drive on EVERYDAY} to take some pics of the cool little barn and then across the street are horses AND cows. It’s a pretty busy little road and I don’t really want to stop on my way to or from work. Plus there is a lot of tall grass and I’m not sure wedges would be my best defense against you know, snakes or something. Hopefully it won’t be raining I will get a chance to take some good pics. I love to take landscape pics. I would love to make a coffee table book of old barns from all around. Do people even still buy coffee table books? Hmm.
Happy Friday!
