I spent over two hours this morning cleaning up after our "No Name Storm" that hit us this weekend. A Low that turned Tropical just overhead of us. We got 10"+ rain on Saturday, a couple more on Sunday but Sunday brought 40+ mph winds and we had 50+mph gusts. The garden took a beating, all my seedlings that haven't been set yet got spanked and the winds sucked most of my gardening stuff out the tubs on my garden shelving unit and scattered everything across the yard. I got all the seedlings planted "up" in the hopes that more soil would help wick some of the water away from the roots but they aren't looking so great. I'm not confident they'll make it.
Then I came in and cleaned up where our roof leaked during the weekend. DH ran to Lowes Sunday morning during a break in the rain, climbed up on the roof and found a couple of loose roofing nails. Slapped on some roofing mastic and it seems as though they were the culprits because we've seen no more water so I went ahead and dumped the buckets and got everything cleaned up...except for the ceiling which looks like hell and has holes in it to allow for drainage but it's fixable.
Then I did a double canning session. Got 32 Pints of Chicken done today with enough meat left to do about three more pints tomorrow. One more month of protein on the shelf.
