Things have largely returned to normal here, but we are watching the next storm as it develops.

We are almost back to normal. Just need to finish removing a huge fig tree that fell over AFTER the storm. It has a massive orchid covering about 7 feet of the trunk all the way around that we are trying to salvage part of. Although this kind of orchid is very common here, I have a fondness for this particular one and would like keep at least part of it going. We'll work on that Monday.Wilmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14717012784233946753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252308131554892866.post-8692106052846093042016-08-06T08:04:19.231-06:002016-08-06T08:04:19.231-06:00Only just spotted your blog postings about Earl, W...Only just spotted your blog postings about Earl, Wilma.
