Notes from Swannanoa finale: After experiencing the challenges of the five months following Helene, I eagerly moved through the kaleidoscopic seasons, observing the early signs of change. I danced in the garden when I found purple dead nettle blooming, and I crowed with delight when the daffodils returned from the underworld.

"Damage estimates ranged from $15 billion to more than $100 billion, insurers and forecasters said over the weekend.
"The National Weather Service said conditions would “continue to improve Sunday” as it warned of possible “long-duration power outages”.
"Helene slammed into Florida on Thursday as a Category 4 hurricane and surged north, gradually weakening but leaving a trail of destruction: uprooted trees, downed power lines and homes damaged by mudslides.
