On Tuesday afternoon, August 4, 2020, Tropical Storm Isaias toppled five trees on my property, in a domino effect, but fortunately they didn't hit anything.
After almost three weeks of clean up efforts, the work is finally completed. I have a lot of sore and strained muscles, including my right hand, so my artwork and online activities will be limited for awhile, until I'm feeling back to normal.
This year has been an unusually hot, humid Summer that has gone on, with no relief, since about early to mid June to August 14, 2020. Then the heat and humidity returned August 22, 2020. Because of that, Connecticut has D0 and D1 drought conditions. (United States Drought Monitor - Connecticut) So between the drought, bugs eating all of the plant and tree leaves, and Tropical Storm Isaias, I picked the wrong year to decide to plant grass seed and try to regain control of the flower beds, which had become overgrown with weeds /
vines / etc.

...let's hope that you don't have another!
2020 has definitley been a year we won't forget. Yes, you picked the wrong year to update your gardens and landscape elements.
Terrible storm.
So pleased it wasn't worse for you than it was.
Hope you start feeling better and not so sore soon.
All the best Jan
What an amazing storm cleanup job... you did great! Hopefully your sore muscles and hand will recover quickly after some rest. Sounds like a good time to watch movies and lounge around with a cold beverage!
