Here is is - the end of October 2024.  Where has this year gone?  Time is speeding quickly by.  

Here in North FL we experienced 4 hurricanes in 14 months!!  Who would've ever guessed that!?  Our small community has had to deal with devastation on many levels, but the people have proven to be very resilient and are coming back stronger than ever.  Many, many trees have been decimated, Helene took out alot of buildings/structures.  We are still recouping losses and cleaning up the trees.  It will, literally, take years to be finished.  

In the meantime, life goes on.  People have returned to work, attended functions, and are getting back to normal.  

In In the Woods life has gone on also.    Appliances are still being repaired, quilts are still being made, gardens are still be planted/harvested, and we continue on. 

We were just getting ready to pick up five of the grandkids when we had to postpone their visit due to Helene coming through.  So, now, we look forward to another time for them to visit with us.  In two short weeks we will have the twins with us again for a week. That will be fun and busy.  

I need to download some pictures of what I've been doing here in the woods.  Lots of quilting and lots of cross stitching.  I'll take some time this week to do that.
