37 Cleaning up 9-20-03.JPG

Saturday around Noon, September 20, Don and Floyd - now owners of the home we're living in - arrive (we'd last talked with them on Thursday during the hurricane) bearing the greatest gifts of all: themselves, their love and support and concern, and BAGS OF ICE AND WATER, and gourmet sandwiches for lunch! Ice-cold water has never tasted so good (and the awe of its availability was only surpassed by the warm shower I eventually took - but that ice water really was, in hind sight, best, a cold GI shower can do okay). Don and Floyd helped clean up the yard, helped straighten up about 9 Leyland Cypress trees whose root balls were pulled up a bit (they are 3 years old and still the storm moved them!). They were leaning about 10 degrees after being blown by the storm, and then they did the same for the Hollywood Juniper trees outside of the gazebo. It was decided that if the Junipers were to live and grow, that the tops had to be cut back.
