You're not invited


This is about as clean as our patio has ever been. Kent moved the table and chairs right up by the house and swept both levels thoroughly to get rid of all the seed the birds have scattered. Plus he put away the bird feeder and the twirly decoration which also hung from the deck above us. The yellow worm-like tube you see at the bottom is one of the Hydra-Barriers. All four are filled and in place except for that one. We'll put it up against the back door later tonight.

I've been tracking the hurricane since I got up at 5 AM; Ben lives in Smithfield, VA and lost power around 8 AM. As you can see in the picture, it's just now beginning to rain in Boston at about 2PM. I know Irene has slowed down a lot and also thankfully weakened. She can weaken right down to a light mist as far as I'm concerned.

We are having a Cocktails and Portraits party this evening. Kent's planned and organized the whole thing. He's invited our friends to bring appetizers, and we'll have those plus wine and he'll take lots of head shots of everyone. As it turns out, this is now a Cocktails, Portraits and Party-Crashing Irene get-together. Stay tuned for details when it's all over, plus some great pictures.
