Kyle missed us

First off, a great big thank you to everyone for your positive energy and thoughts of us during this time! I think you helped fend off a direct hit!

I think it is safe to say that Kyle missed us! We didn't see a puff of wind and we had more rain Friday night than from Kyle afterwards! I have yet to take a final rain amount reading. I am guessing around four inches for the weekend.

The pond is quite full. A bit more rain and it would have been over the top of the dam. We walked over this afternoon to have a peek, and some adventerous fisherman had tucked a pickup up in behind the right of way. They had been there all day or possibly since last night, as there was no sign of tracks leading to the pond. They will have to drive through water to get out, though!

The fullest I have seen the pond, it was clear up to the logs on the high side. There was only about three feet of shore left until that point today.

Hard to believe we had a category one hurricane cruise by. The satellite pictures looked like we were getting walloped and then the rain just drizzled out and everything was dead calm. So, we didn't lose much foliage at all-the good soaking might even brighten the colors up this week. Watch this space for more autumn photos. :)
