August Ends.

8-30-11 VERMONT: We did have more of storm after my last post, another 0.9 inches of rain and some gusty winds, the electricity did go out that night and the next morning the phones also cut out. Both were back by mid-day, unlike the eastern parts of the state that were severely hurt by the high water and will have no power or phone for weeks. Many bridges and roads are out. [Check out VT storm videos on YouTube.] We were lucky to only have a wet basement floor and small branches down in the yard. The last couple days have been beautiful, the boys have been back in the pond, and we have been doing clean up and close up. We go back to NJ tomorrow. Rain total for August—11.9 inches by my gauge, I put all the hoses away for the season.

Morning After. Irene fades away.

Tomatoes keep coming.
