It's a jungle out there!

Florida had a great growing season this year. It rained a lot and when it wasn't raining it was warm and sunny. We left in April so the weeds had a good 6 months to grow and did they grow.


You could hardly see the front of the house - some are 6 feet high.















The side yard wasn't much better.













We pulled a lot of weeds.




Now to top all this off, when I clicked the garage door opener, nothing happened. Luckily I also had a front door key with me and I got into the house that way. The problem was no electric power. So I went to the fuse box but nothing was tripped. Looked at the electric meter outside and it was blank. Called the power company and they sent a guy out. The fuse at the house transformer was blown, the guy said it was probably a lighting strike and quickly changed it and restored power. Small world - the guy was from Waterford, CT. Polly's son was 2 years behind him in Waterford High School.
