We’re okay…but our stuff is not!

By Heather

We just had a heavy rainstorm come through in South Jersey, and I believe a mini tornado was part of it.  Or something like it.  I saw my cast iron patio furniture and brand new grill fly and I almost woke my daughter from her nap to go into the basement…and then it was over like that.

It’s okay…it’s just stuff.

I am still not done picking it all up.

I’ll be starting back at square one with my composting.

That’s our brand new grill on the ground.

This was Emma’s playhouse…the wind ripped the wood apart.

Thank God we are safe…and also for home owner’s insurance.

    Holy mother – for the storm and your gorgeous, giant yard! Slightly jealous – of the yard, not the storm :) Glad you all are OK!!

      Hehe thanks Aleks me too. You say that about our lawn but you don’t have to mow it ;0)

      So sad about my compost bin emptying out (I forgot to latch it yesterday)

      • Aleks says

        at

        Oh no about the compost! Hope it is salvageable! We had some big storms last night but no damage. And yeah, I don’t envy you the mowing AT ALL! However twice a year we have to put out about 50 bales of pine straw and mulch. And my “we” I mean my husband LOL!

          Haha – it’s gone. I don’t even know where it all went. Must go find more dead leaves in the forest….

      Seriously! Could you imagine if we were outside. Don’t even want to think.
