Ahhhh………….it’s been a long week and it’s gonna get longer………seems that nasty hurricane is headed our way……..of course it still could change course but North Carolina and Virginia are the current “likely” detinations for Joaquin so who knows?! We’ve already had three days of rain which means our soil is saturated and we don’t need any more……….but we’re likely to get a whole lot more so we’re just going to settle in for the duration – what choice do we have anyway?!?!?!?! Mom Nature has her own little way of keeping us on our toes!
Too bad she’s not gonna be sprinkling her flowers around – looks like we’ll get rain and wind instead of this PRETTY STUFF she does so well!
As long as we don’t lose power I’ll be around. You betcha!
This has been a weird year for weather……………Mom and Dad were talking at dinner last night and saying “what do you suppose this means about WINTER this year???” – meaning since it’s been strange so far, what will winter bring………let’s hope it’s not blizzards and FEET AND FEET of snow (oops…..did I say that out loud?!?!?!?!).
I’ll be ready though if we DO get snow!!!!
One good thing about this week is that it’s ending on a HIGH note…………..Mom and Dad are making bacon this morning…………who knew? Seems like a real bacon bonanza doesn’t it? I say it’s just what the doctor ordered!
I prescribe BACON…..and plenty of it!
And tomorrow is my regular BACON DAY………..ONE SPOILED CAT – that’s me!

I hope we don’t have a lot of snow – Dad believes the Almanac is almost always RIGHT ON TARGET! Hurricane Joaquin is now NOT coming ashore here but further up the coast…hopefully you all will only get rain from it too!

After reading comments it looks better for you with the hurricane. I will be keeping my fingers crossed that it goes out to sea. We sure could use some rain, we haven’t had rain in a month and a half and we are parched. Ground is cracked and dust is blowing all over. Be keeping an eye on you and where Joaquin decides to travel. Enjoy your bacon, Sammy!

I hope that hurricane misses you Sammy. We have had weird weather here also. Apart from some unusually hot weather back in May, we have had a very cold miserable summer. We are having a late summer for the last week or so. I think we will have a hard winter because the swallows have already left, and they don’t usually leave until mid October. Also dad has had to shut off parts of the fields to the horses because of a bumper crop of acorns.

Hi Flynn! Looks like the hurricane has headed EAST of us so we won’t get a “slam dunk” – but we sure are getting a lot of RAIN and breeziness. It could be worse though so we’re grateful.

Yes we were happy that the hurricane took a right hand turn and headed out to sea instead of towards land. Lots of people we know on the shore were VERY nervous about the high tides……..still, we miss having a little bit of sun – rain day after day is not only WET but DEPRESSING! 😦
