Re: Bonnie's Gone

Hi Leslie, 
Good to hear you and your family (and iris) made it through OK.  Hopefully that will be the last for this year.
Mike

Hi All,
 
Well, Hurricane Bonnie has left us here in Goldsboro, NC.  We had some serious 70+mph winds yesterday and all of last night and almost 6 inches of rain.  No real damage here.  Only a few downed trees and power lines.  Thank goodness we weren't on the coast.  The wind is still blowing and it is still drizzling off and on.  Last heard that Bonnie was moving across the northern coast of North Carolina, downgraded to a Tropical Storm.  I hope she's not a problem for any of you up in Virginia or farther north.
 
I want to thank all of you for your concern while we went through this storm and for all of the suggestions about what do to with my newly planted irises.  I pulled some of them up as I had only planted late last week.  I already had replanted some older iris in this bed about a month ago, so I had to leave them.  The all fared pretty well and I'll be putting the new ones back into the ground tomorrow.  My husband did a terrific job when he made this bed for me.  Only during the heaviest of downpours yesterday did I see even a small amount of standing water between the rows and with the wind blowing so much, the water evaporated rather quickly.
 
Again, thanks to all for your concern and your help.  It is greatly appreciated.
