Irene went by

We were on the edge of the hurricane path.  It started raining sometimes Saturday morning around 11, and the rain increased in intensity during the day.  By 8 pm it was a nice storm with winds.  The winds got more intense after midnight.  Bernie and I heard a tree come down. My mom has slept through all of it.  Nicoletta heard the wind and the rain.  The horses kept eating grass!  Between 5 and 6 AM we lost the power and with it also the water..  Bringing buckets of water from the barn to the house lost his appeal right away.  We did not get power till midday Tuesday.  Eight trees come down, or at least that is the known count.  A small piece of the fence was damaged by one of the tree.  We got wood for at least a couple of winters.
