In the meantime, I hit the ground running upon our arrival home. We helped our best neighbor clean up the tree that fell during the storm. It ripped down wires that torched one of my crape myrtles and half a privet hedge. The *might* be OK . . . we'll know next spring! Half the town was out of power for days- some neighborhoods STILL are out. We were some of the lucky ones as it was restored prior to our arrival home Friday night.
We had a lot of yard work and clean up all weekend and today I split and stacked 1/2 cord of firewood in between cooling off and painting. There are several projects in the works right now.
Keep cool everyone and here's hoping the power is restored quickly to the rest of Northern NJ!
