Irene left her mark in our area this weekend.

It was really not as bad as elsewhere since the storm had lost a lot of strength before getting here but still: trees were uprooted, there was a bit of a flood and we had no electricity for almost three days. Because of that, I’m now behind schedule for a couple of projects and have to work hard to get back on tracks!

Here are some photos of Irene’s leftovers. They were taken around noon, not the best hour to get a good image, but they will give you an idea of the damages she left behind.

On the other hand, all that rain brought out lots of boletus and tons of other mushrooms that can’t be eaten but are still very pretty to look at.

Also, having no electricity, I had time to do other things like experiment on the pebbles. I will show you the tests on Friday.

Did Irene pass in your neighbourhood as well?
