Ida

Ida glad you did not visit us, but your kids (feeder bands ) did cause quite a mess and stayed way longer than I expected!  I mean they first started coming on Saturday and didn't leave till Tuesday.  Even now on Wednesday the gulf is quite rough. Guess that is why they say the east side of a hurricane is the beast.  It is a tropical storm for days. While happily my 2 condos seem fine, I know of several in the complex that took on water and a road was washed out nearby.  Really we did not need another 12 inches of rain either - we are more than 27 inches over for the year.  Truthfully I could have done with less wind too.  I could hardly open our front door for a couple of days!

Monday morning - not looking good out there

parking lot behind club - sand in the street from the sand island play area

Afternoon and still not looking good - very windy as in we did the weatherman storm walk to go from 1 building to the other

we went for a little walk in the afternoon on the beach dune walk overs

hmm little bit of sand on the steps

water behind the dunes

Thought I would show you how we redecorated some for the storm.  This is in our new condo.

view from kitchen window - wetlands are looking pretty wet 

evening walk - break in rain - water at bottom of bridge in complex

pretty evening sunset, but notice bayou is very full

that sidewalk should keep going - pond by cottages - my 2 buildings in background

Tuesday morning it poured first thing for awhile and windy then by noon it was all leaving. Yeah!! 

patterns in the sand from the water leaving from behind the dunes and going back to the gulf

our green frogs are back - life after the storm returns.
