Ozzie and the Hurricane

Leaves and small
branches cover our deck.

Hurricane Irene has come for an extended visit in our area. It's still raining like cats and dogs (pardon the pun) and water is seeping up through the floor in the one corner of our basement since 3:00 AM. We are fortunate to still have power unlike thousands who are doing without. Though Irene may be heading north, we are still feeling the affects and have several hours ahead of her wrath. Ozzie seems to be weathering the storm pretty well from the couch, which is now command central in our house. We will keep you posted from this location and for folks in the NY/NJ area stay inside and off the roads today. A good day for baking cookies and watching movies I would say!
