Outside-Office

One of my fave Stones’ LPs, Aftermath, offers a fine title to this blog. Besides Tropical Storm Isaias cutting out my power (and thus cable and Internet), a fair amount of branches and leaves littered my yard and deck. My outside monitor, albeit covered also took a hit; its replacement, same as I use in my office, arrived midweek. It “rested in the dining room awaiting deployment.

Yesterday, was the day to set things back up and clear the debris. (Not before, just after; just imagine)

It filled more than one black bag.

Success!

Sorry for your hassle. Just be grateful a tree didn’t fall on your go your house and hope there are no more storms this season. LOVE your summer office!

Funny you should post this, Corey. Was JUST viewing video of the storm damage and cleanup at our golf club.

Looking good

We had a lot of debris outside, tiles from an outdoor table literally flew out of the table and smashed. Luckily, however, that was the only effect on us.

I was thinking this morning that yesterday today would be clear. It’s like why did I bother.

Thanks. Need to talk to you about a community issue.

The deBris cleanup was worse than the look on the patio floor. A lot of down branches in the garden portions I needed to break up. I wanted to weed whack today but appears that’s on hold.

Thx.
Got two healthy trees. Not sure how old but I planted both 25-30 years ago. Shelly alway worries about them falling westerly. I prune them after the fall as needed.
A friend suggested I negotiate a jacuzzi as a replacement.

I'd have welcome that and would've have enjoyed clearing the debris. Water time is plenty fun.

We did our post clean up the same evening as the storm. Filled a whole garbage can full of branches, twigs and pine cones from our huge Hemlock and Blue Spruce trees. I still see neighbors that have not cleared their yard. Yours looks great again.
