Secondly, I applaud all your effort in preparing for the hurricane's onslaught. I hope that all your preparation paid off, and that there was no damage sustained. This was a really good case of prevention being worth more than cure. I hope your roof, gutter and downspouts were clean as well, so that the rain was directed away from your house.<br /><br /><br />-- <a href="http://www.renewcrewclean.com/about/why-diy-pressure-washing/" rel="nofollow">Kylee Groves</a> --Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02667908357520360395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-73099832922243178402011-08-28T17:01:04.234-04:002011-08-28T17:01:04.234-04:00That's great that your family and your garden ...That's great that your family and your garden are okay.Kon Gruffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00958448642597348219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-17135605184897248152011-08-28T12:12:43.792-04:002011-08-28T12:12:43.792-04:00You did a great job battening down the hatches and...You did a great job battening down the hatches and I have to tell you I just love your brick house - I have a real thing for brick houses!

The winds and heavy rain are supposed to start tonight.<br /><br />Holly, We will and we are ready!<br /><br />johanna, I think your weather is supposed to be worse then ours....so YOU stay safe!<br /><br />Jane, Hopefully we won't get as much rain as they are predicting. We shall see!<br /><br />Villager, There's not much that I can do with the gardens. I was going to pick a bunch of green peppers and tomatoes....but, decided not to. If they get blown over then we will have lots of green veggies. If not, maybe they will get a chance to ripen.<br /><br />Sue, I hope the rain is much less. If we get that much rain some of my fall crops will drown for sure! <br /><br />Tami, I didn't know that about incandescent bulbs! I certainly hope that they improve the flourescents ones. They have horrible light. If not, we will have to smuggle some from SC!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220238404223196571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-49382050732840602322011-08-27T17:46:09.304-04:002011-08-27T17:46:09.304-04:00Stay safe Robin!

That'll be the new "smuggled" item as the feds have banned them and are phasing them out over the next few years. We're close to SC and were very happy to hear the that there is legislature pending the APPROVAL of the manufacture and sale of incandescent bulb within the state of SC. <br /><br />So no cold sterile lightbulbs in my house. Instead of the Palmetto State, SC will become the Incandescent State.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06597093453934852571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215310042560560686.post-43529952621453703402011-08-27T17:37:43.005-04:002011-08-27T17:37:43.005-04:00You seem well prepared--hope all will be well.
