Well sometimes Mother Nature has plans of her own. I should have been in California shooting harvest photos a week ago, but Hurricane Ike changed my plans just a bit. Ike was a pretty powerful storm, and a very large storm...it certainly hit my neighborhood hard. So, as we move into day 10 with no electricity I am grateful that I still have a home. The trees are now off/out of the roof...the insurance adjuster has come and gone and the mess is slowly getting smaller. I talked to a friend of mine who had a home near Galveston, Texas...he lost almost everything there...it made my losses seem like an inconvenience by comparison. Gratefully the residents of Houston and the Gulf Coast are a special people in times like these...almost every night neighbors have fired up their grills and opened up their porches and patios for group meals by lantern light. Everyone is helping each other....
