Return To Normal
Hurricane Earl was not so much in our area….some wind…..some rain….we were lucky. I came home from work this afternoon and put my garden flag back up…. ….and hung my wind chimes back where they belonged…. ….refilled the bird baths I had emptied and put away last night…. ….rehung the feeders filled with seeds for the birds…. ….took photographs of my morning glories…. ….and some unexpected fall roses…. ….return to normal…. ~ until the next time.

Gulp!
An update ~ for those of you who don’t check the Weather Channel every hour on the hour after hearing the words “hurricane in the Atlantic moving west” 🙂 …Hurricane Earl is still a powerful Category 4 hurricane headed towards the United States. Everyone keeps saying it is going to turn….the sooner the better please. I’m hopeful…but then ~ Image Credit ~ The Weather Channel This is the worst case scenario….passing right over the Outer Banks. They have issued a hurricane watch for most of the North Carolina coast. Interests in Virginia and north to New England have been advised to monitor Earl. The best case scenario has it at a more…

Outside My Window ~ 8.29.10
Outside My Window…is a sunshine, blue skies with a few white puffy clouds. The temperature at 10:45 is 82ºF with about 60% humidity. It feels pretty warm when you walk outside. Forecast today is for the upper 80’s with no rain. That seems to have been the mantra for most of our summer…..no rain. We have managed to squeeze a few drops here and there to keep things from completely dying….but the ground is quite dusty and could use a few days of water. But…..be careful what you wish for this time of year because we are heading into the heart of the tropical and hurricane season right now and there…

Outside My Window ~ 8.23.09
Outside My Window…is a decent morning. Temps are 81F with 68% humidity at 11:00 this morning. Yes, it is quite toasty and muggy outside. What was beautiful, blue, sun shiny skies is now filling with clouds. We are forecasted today to have thunderstorms this afternoon. This is pretty typical weather for this time of year actually. Yesterday afternoon we had an enormous amount of rain from the front that passed through….the same one that kept Hurricane Bill away from the coast. I am thinking…about my things to do list…….and how grateful I am that Alanna remembered the time she got caught in a rip current when we were at Nags…

Dodged A Bullet
Looks as if the East Coast dodged a bullet this weekend……Hurricane Bill is forecasted to pass between the United States and Bermuda. Thanks to a front that is moving east, it is not expected to make landfall anywhere in the US. The only impact we will probably have will be increased wave action and rip currents if it stays on this course. Here’s hoping that front continues moving east and doesn’t stall ~ otherwise, it could get dicey folks!!
