Thanks, Victor and Celeste. The messy part is hard to avoid seeing and trying to imagine an all sun garden is much worse. The older I get the more I want the shade.

We were without power from 6 AM Sunday to 11:30 Wednesday night. I'm thankful the nights were cool so we could sleep but the nearby generators made it rough.

There is a real benefit to being born with the last name of Zuegel. I got used to being last to be called on in school, last for anything that went alphabetically. Mentally I figured we'd be last to get power and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't the case. Someone does have to be the last one and I hope they are as grateful as we are to have our power.

Here's my little shady spot...former shady spot!
