Day 240 survived Irene

Well, we officially survived Hurricane Irene. The worst was actually yesterday. However, early this morning until about an hour ago, we were without power. During that time my mom and I went out for coffee. We decided to drive to the Delaware River to see how high/choppy it looked. Pretty high and choppy, apparently. And super chocolatey-looking. Like Willy Wonka chocolate river-esque. Thankfully it appears the damage in the area was to a minimum. No more hurricanes this season, please!

Day 25 is for the birds

The Delaware River frequently freezes during cold snowy winters, much like this one. While driving over the Calhoun St. Bridge this afternoon (No fear, I was a passenger!) I saw a ton of birds chilling, literally. Brrr, I get cold just looking at this! Hopefully they're at least finding some good grub on the water.
