Hurricane Irene

The last segment of our vacation was cut short by Irene, a Category 1 hurricane that skirted the coast from Norfolk, Virginia to New York City and beyond.  We left for home on Saturday evening to ride out the weather with the chickens.  The drive back was rainy, although we were spared the brunt of the storm, the worst of which passed in the night.

Before leaving there was time for a lunch of baked beans, cornbread, and grilled steak, followed by an afternoon snack of two bacon-fried fresh fish from the river, our first catch.  John the Plumber stopped during the rain to attempt to fix the leaky shared well, and both commodes.

Pictured above was our night of dancing to Aerosmith's Sweet Emotion and Madonna's Vogue.  We'll be back soon, Clarion.
