Also happy Gnudog is working out so well.
only in 2004 when those hurricanes came through did we get some good rain. hurricane jean came right over the farm. the silence of the eye woke me up in the wee hours. went outside and saw stars and thought, it's not offshore.. this is the eye. as soon as I got back inside, the wind shifted to the north and started in again. laid a cedar right down on the corner of the kitchen but this old house stood firm. sure wish we could get back to those afternoon rains!
