Hurricane Update 3

We are still doing fine.      Amazingly, the windiest part was AFTER the hurricane seemed to be over, in the afternoon and evening today.    All our tall trees were lashing about.

Dad put up the hummingbird feeder again this morning as soon as he could get out there.  He secured it by attaching a rope to the bottom and tying it to the deck railing.  The little birdie has been back in spite of the strong wind, and also many other birds to the regular feeders.    Here is how the hummingbird feeder looks the way he secured it:


And here is the stuff Mom and Dad prepared for us before the hurricane, in case we had to leave the house.  The bag contained our food and bowls and water and harnesses.     But now it is all packed away again.

Purrs go out to all the people and animals who were badly affected by this storm.  We were very fortunate and know not everyone was in our  situation.
