Lucky Friday the 13th


I do not fear Friday the 13th. Both hubby and daughter are due home today. The winds have slowed and so have the rains. The water rose to the end of the dock but not over the top. No downed trees although the yard looks like a major battle took place. Those two trees that lean across the dock on the right in the photo above are widow-makers and I wish we could get someone to cut them down. It appears that since they are so close to the water we have to get a permit. (Others, of course, were not so lucky in this storm.)
I will actually venture out on this lucky day to shop for food since I have eaten every scrap that was in the refrigerator and now need to begin cooking for two again.

Boy I hope Mother Nature doesn't tie one on again like that anytime too soon!

  1. I'm glad you didn't have downed trees and a flood. I really like the photo of your dock. It's very pretty, mess and all.

  2. I'm happy to know things didn't become worse.

    I left my umbrella somewhere. I'm a bit unlucky today. Or probably I'm being unmindful again. :(

  3. My husband just commented this morning about how he is desperate for the sun again. Surprisingly, I'm doing okay without it, because I'm usually the one in desperate need of the sun after not having it for a few days.
    My neighbor just had two dead trees cut down two days before the endless rain. Surely the trees would have come down. Hope your trees will do whatever you wish and not make any widows. :)
    I am going to follow you so that I can get an update of your posts.
    Happy Friday the 13th!

  4. That was quite a blow, especially so late in the season. Glad you are safe and no damage was done.

    Eat well so you have plenty of strength for the homecoming!

  5. I had forgotten that it's Friday the 13th until I read your post. I should have remembered because tomorrow is my son's birthday. There is nothing that can make you feel more like a relic than having a son who is considered an elder. He will be 59 years old.

    I'm glad the storm didn't cause any more damage and hope you don't have another one.
