| Yard before Ian |

| next day after Ian, what was left of the ears, banana.. |
We thoughtwe lost them all, but we stood the big ear up, cut off all dead leaves, leaving one leaf, cut the banana tree down, put the stump back in the ground. and stood up one of the small ears, pushing the dirt firmly around it and Today is Thankful thursday and look at it now
The stump of the bannana has new growth, the big Ear has 3 leaves, the little ear has 3 leaves and you can't see the cassava, but 5 that I planted have new growth.
We are thankful we are thriving, the plants are coming back, the roof stayed on, and now it has been 30 days since Ian visited.

And I am thankful for a blog friend who sent me her old iphone that took these photos

It was so beautiful before...it must have been heartbreaking to see the devastation. And what an enormous amount of work doing the cleanup. But thank heavens things grow fast.
how good that your plants are such troopers... they all come bak...and Ian is the loser, ha!
Much improved after all your hard labor!!
Wow, it doesn't seem like it's been that long since Ian went through. Nature is wonderful. It's amazing how resilient some plants can be.

That is one thing to be said for living in the tropics - it can go from mud to jungle in a matter of weeks! So glad your place is rejuvenating. YAM xx
I have to say it was beautiful - then a mess - but joy is coming! Thank God.

This just goes to show, you can't keep a good plant down!
I think we humans could take a lesson from them.
Wowzers, Florida is definitely a GreenHouse.
I am amazed at how things are bouncing back. You and Bob worked so hard and your yard shows it.
It sounds like things are looking up a bit.
Going in a few to have our front brakes and rotors replaced today.
Its a real answer to prayer to have it paid for by our friend..
eBay has slowed down but hope to sell a few things soon.
