Why is it that just about every tropical system in the past decade has come through our area overnight? It is sort of strange to go to bed with the anxiety of not knowing how bad a storm is going to be. It’s even more odd to sleep through it and wake up with it already past our area. Fortunately, we seem to have dodged a bullet and the effects of Elsa have been minimal.
What we were left with is what Winnie the Pooh called a “Winds-day.” Sitting outside Wednesday morning, the breeze was strong enough to make it feel like fall. A nice little treat in the middle of summer.
We hope your homes and gardens made it through Elsa in good shape. I’m keeping the newsletter short today because we still have tons of work to do putting the nursery back together from our hurricane prep. After the fact, it feels like we went a little overboard, but better safe than sorry, right? Hurricanes can be unpredictable, and it’s always better to be ready.
We hope to see you this weekend at the nursery. When you do come in over the next few months, you’ll see construction starting on the new checkout building. We ask for your patience and flexibility in advance, as we know the construction is going to make a bit of a mess, but we know it will all be worth it in the end.
