It's one of my favorite lines from the 1939 movie: "The Wizard of Oz!"
"The wind began to switch - the house to pitch
and suddenly the hinges started to unhitch.
Just then the Witch - to satisfy an itch
went flying on her broomstick,
thumbing for a hitch."
Well... apart from the witch; that pretty much sums up our past
week, here in parts of South Jersey! A storm hit last Tuesday,
week, here in parts of South Jersey! A storm hit last Tuesday,
just about this time of the day, and we were without power until Saturday! Thank the Lord... we, our neighbors, and our friends are just fine!
But in all the flurry of activity
(not too mention the loss of electricity!)...
(not too mention the loss of electricity!)...
I wasn't able to post a June Give-Away!
Not to fear... I hope to pull something together in the next week
for a combined June-July Give-Away!
In the meanwhile... look at the fruit on our newly acquired Fig tree!
I could hardly believe my eyes when I spotted it last week...
It survived the wind and the rain, just potted up on our back patio!
Be blessed! Daryle (and Katie too!)
It is something what mother nature can do.

I love figs and when younger, we had tree. Loved just eating off of it.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you both 'weathered' the storm. I haven't seen a fig tree since we left California, probably 50 years ago. How lovely, and resilient yours is!

ReplyDeleteSo glad you came out of all that fury safely Daryle and Katie too!
ReplyDeleteThat's a huge amount of time to be without power in this day and age.
You're going to have a fine time eating all those gorgeous figs when they grow up! :)
Seems like you have been hit with some weather these past few years. We are in a drought...praying for some rain! I remember the first time I tasted a fresh fig... I hope your fledgling makes it.
