A Ginormous Mellow Yellow Thank You

Today's post is dedicated to all of the people who worked this last weekend keeping us all safe here on the East Coast during hurricane Irene. I feel extremely fortunate to have kept both our power and our phone service especially since people in our surrounding area are without both. God bless us everyone.
Below is a photo of the typical sort of damage you see in my neighborhood. Farmingdale didn't get too much flooding but we did get quite a few fallen trees.
As you can see, thankfully the Brown Eyed Susan's are still intact.
