Oh my- well, some interesting twists in getting by! Maybe the trees can be put back upright and will survive? I don't know if that's possible. I love your coffee maker and the glow of the lamps by your window.
@wakelys Thanks Sue. I had 5 peacocks on the patio! I was very surprised to see them. They are curious but shy and leave when I try to approach them. I would probably have had to leave both doors open and leave the room for them to wander in. I have no intentions of doing that! @grammyn Thank you Katy. Not nearly as bad as so many. I'm thankful. @casablanca Thanks Casa. Mine were minor inconveniences compared to so many. @30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks Jackie. @tunia Have something to lift the pot above the sterno (I used a chafing dish holder, others have used brick or blocks on two sides). Thinking about getting a portable stove burner. I think they use butane or something like that. Could hold a bigger pot. It's something to think about. I'm not ready to buy a generator. The power doesn't go out that often. @beverley365 Thank you Beverley. @robz Thank goodness the big tree wasn't mine, but it was my friend's. She lost about 9 big trees, with only superficial damage (thank God) to her home. I refer to it as "glamping" because I had a good roof over my head to protect me from the elements, a bathroom and a comfy bed. @shutterbug49 Thank you Debbie. My damage was only a couple of shingles and that pitiful little tree leaning to the left. I've staked the tree back up and have a carpenter coming this coming week to look at the shingles. I was very lucky. @onewing I was at home most of the time. I was supposed to start on a road trip, but cancelled it. Thank you Babs. @olivetreeann Thank you Ann. I staked my little tree up, but the others won't be. Too big. Taller than the house. Those were at my friend's house btw. @digitalrn I guess technically I was out of the 50 mile distance to say that I was in the direct line of the storm. Seems the center passed through the very western corner of the state into Tennessee. But a lot of damage to the entire western part of the state. Thank you Rick. @kjarn Thanks Kathy. I sure was lucky that I didn't have to "rough it" too long. I never really did like primitive camping.
I'm glad you're safe and sound. The damage isn't big but it's food for thought. We've ruined the atmosphere and we have to accept that these unpleasant moments will be more frequent.
So pleased that things are a little more settled for you.
This is a great collage…

Well I'm already behind again!
