all safe indoors

Shortly after setting out the majority of my plants onto the new apartment balcony, we got warning of approaching hurricane Sandy. So my older daughter and I brought them all back in again, where I arranged them in front of the kitchen window. It was quite a full space!

and the other

There were only a few plants by the smaller window; I show this picture to enjoy the last of the Marigold flowers. My toddler has since pulled off and shredded (with glee) most of the blooms.

The storm blew over with much wind and rain, we were just on the outskirts of it. A day later I shifted most of those pots back outside again. Hopefully won't have to do that too often!
