Hail last week, stream bed for driveway this week! My sister sent me this picture of the aftermath of Irene, looking toward my Samsonville house. It could be worse, of course. Good thing we didn't fix last weekend's damage yet!

Something very sad: the covered bridges that were destroyed. I know at least one in Vermont was, and the Blenheim Bridge in Schoharie County is gone. They can never be replaced!
