The day after!


The storm is over and tonight the moon is out, all is good.
We had a lot of wind and one tree that came down, on my fence, so that has to be fixed.

Our village was under water and today we drove through to see how things were. You could see the water that was still around the homes and a few with pumps, getting the water out of the basements.

Usually a boat or two gets thrown into someones yard, but today, just one left it's mooring. 


Since we were in the village, I decided I wanted to go see the old church. When I was a kid, I went to a  Baptist church in town and we would hold special services in the Old Narragansett Church. It is the oldest Episcopal church in the Northeast, built in 1707.


Here is the church from the side with the old gravestones. Now it is open for tours only.


We decided to take a drive south and go to the URI bay campus. It is a nice place to enjoy the views of the bay and the coastlines. There were still some waves and this poor guy couldn't sit and relax for long, before he got hit with one.


And a few were just too much, so he had to get off the rock when those hit. It was nice to get out and I hope that the rest of the states are able to get back to enjoying their lives again.

    It is still wild in Ohio and I am probably 500 miles west so I can't even imagine what it was like. About 6pm I went to Lake Erie to try to take pictures but the wind almost knocked my down and I could not hold the camera steady. It is STILL howling!
    My heart goes out to all those who felt the wrath of Sandy.
    Hugs :)

    Thank goodness all those historical places were not harmed at all. Amazing really.

    I am watching the report and it is really sad. So many people who lost their homes.

    I am glad to see you are well. What a beautiful church! A blessing it was not damaged. I was thinking yesterday about all the historic homes and buildings that were destroyed. So tragic.

    We used to visit old cemeteries. We like to read the tombstones. Some are so interesting.

    Good that you survived the storm without a lot of damage. Does your house have a basement? We don't have basements in Florida.
