Everyone Knows its WINDY!

So our power was out for 6 days last week due to hurricane strength winds here in Pasadena. We knew it was going to be windy, but the damage really took us all by surprise. Our house made it through fine except for a lot of brush, limbs, and one downed tree in the backyard.

We are so lucky to have Mimi and Papa's house just an hour away to go to for safe refuge. They took great care of the kids and I while Simon stayed back at the house to protect our little cottage from looters who were working the area. Nice.

Here are some shots of our yard:

We are safe! We are grateful!
