“Finally Finished”, a copyrighted post, was written for my WordPress blog called Always Growing by Jan in Covington, Louisiana
Well, it seems as if Hurricane Ike was not as bad as predicted. Texas is still here. I am so glad that there was not more damage. I know that there will be some people who will not have electricity for weeks and that is tough. Without a generator, you can’t survive two to three weeks without power. Hopefully, it won’t be too long before they are back to normal.
We finally finished cleaning up our yard from Gustav and the new debris that Ike brought. Hurricane Ike delayed the pick up of the green debris, but the local government should be around this week to haul it off. We were told to place it on the edge of the street, and, luckily, we have a circular driveway, so we could place it on concrete and not ruin the lawn since the pile is about fourteen feet square and about four feet high.
It was overcast all day, so it wasn’t too bad working outside though drier air would have been appreciated. I am hoping that I will be able to work in the garden tomorrow. I have some Louisian irises, lilies and day lilies I want to divide and now is the time. I can’t wait for cooler weather when it will be easier to work all day in the garden.
