We survived last night's big blow, but it did make for a stressful evening and late night. I had the closet all prepared in the basement and my pockets loaded with keys, credit card, cash, and a flash drive with essential documents on it. My new lantern, which I bought yesterday with Linda's help, was charged and ready to go. I said "good bye" to Carmen and begged her to find us among the rubbish if we blew away. Toby, of course, was going in the closet with me. My worst damage, thank goodness, was a broken limb on my georgeous snowball bush. Here is is waiting to be cut up and put in the garbage.
It was so heavy with blooms that it couldn't withstand the winds. But I cut off some branches and made a bouquet for the living room.
Even with the remaining it makes for a really nice show for this year. Like all of the blooming things this spring, the snowballs haave been loaded. Barbara's baby, first year, snowball even had several blooms on it.
Linda and I were going to go to Leroy, KS to visit a large nursery there yesterday. In deference to the impending storms, however, we opted to meet at Stone Creek nursery in El Dorado. I offered advice on what to plant in her wash tubs, and picked up a few things for me, of course! It's too wet to be in the garden this afternoon, but I hope to get some annuals planted tomorrow. The coming week is fairly busy, leaving little time for gardening.
