Changes In Attitude


But no changes in latitude.  We stayed.  Logging 12 to 14 hours on 95 in two days seemed overwhelming.  Especially with pre storm jitters.

The last time we drove back in a tropical storm, the road crews were using snow plows to keep the roads clear of water.

Times like that call for a xanax. 

So we're here doing the prestorm workout.  Shoppng Trader Joes with 100's of our closest friends.Stuffed acorn squash is in our near future.

We bought batteries, matches,candles and shower curtain liners.

GG is mowing the yard and we're storing the pots and trellises in the basement.  Hanging baskets will come down and hopefully the kittens can be wrangled inside.

I'm about to do a big cutback of annuals and a few remaining perennial flowers. Plus I bought a few roses home from the shop. This begs the question, should we party on as usual on Monday?

I'm going for it. I'll post late Sunday night and pray for power on Monday.

Come on by, I have lots of food and the Lab loves company.

Game on?

  2. Sensible people, staying home. The kittens need you - cats go a bit silly in windy weather, so imagine what they'll be like in a full-blown storm!

  6. When I first read it, I thought you meant you were staying in CT through the storm. Sorry you are missing it, but glad you are staying cozy at home. I'm up for FITH Monday. Beautiful flowers!

  10. Up here on the hill and across from the National Cathedral PEPCO was actually responsible enough to bury the power lines, so if you and your people lose power please don't hesitate to shoot off some flares or whatever and we will come to your wi-fi and playlist rescue. Besides, I still have a ton of leftover birthday cake...
