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 from above, thankfully the brown eyed susan's in my backyard are ok too.
today is mellow yellow monday. if you feel so inclined, please visit drowsey monkey's mellow yellow monday meme to check out all things yellow. & don't forget to add your own bit of yellowness too!

It's great to hear that you weathered the storm so well. Your flowers are the perfect cheery photo for the first Mellow Yellow Monday after the storm. Thanks for sharing it!
Glad to hear you came through the storm okay. My mom lost a big tree but, fortunately, it missed the house by a couple of inches! Love your friendly brown-eyed Susans, Lily.
Am not sure my first comment came through. That a relief now this hurricane has passed -much to be thankful for!
so true, Lily. well said.
We are very lucky. It could have been a catastrophe.
Glad to hear you're all right over there!
Glad to know that after the storm, you are okay!
My Mellow Yellow, please take a peek. Thanks!
Your brown eye Susans are very pretty mine didn't do well this year.First too much rain then not enough. Glad to hear you came through the storm okay. Take care
oh my garsh. I was wondering about you during the storm. So glad you're alright. And what beautiful mellow yellow flowers!
Glad to read that everything is fine...it could have been worse.
So sad about all the trees .. and of course those without power ..
Glad to hear you are all okey. The black eyed Susan is pretty doing okey. Too bad this tree fell down but I guess it is time to trim down. ^_^

I'm glad to see you came through the storm, OK! My brother and nephews that live in Nassau and Suffolk counties lost power for almost a week!
