Hmmmmmmmm…

Decisions…………decisions…

We will soon have two named storms in the Gulf of Mexico…

The first time since 1959…

There’s Laura and then there’s Marco…

It seems like years ago that Cristobal came through prior to Addy’s foaling…..

We are now hip-deep in the middle of the 2020 Hurricane Season…

Whoop…..Whoop…..Whoopie…..and Yahoo…

Y’all know…….I just love this time of year…..

…..the boot-sucking-mud…..the steaming heat…..the murk…..the mold…..the 3-dimensional humidity…

…..you know…..an amphibian’s holiday paradise…..

I wait with bated breath each year for these angst-filled/bile-saturated weeks of anticipation and good/old-fashioned/thigh-slapping fun…..

………….sigh………….

Marco looks like he’s heading farther to the west…….Laura is off his right shoulder…..

…..I’m not even looking towards the west coast of Africa yet…..

We’ve already been getting daily bands of rain-squalls…much like a tropical system…but there’s no one near us right now…..

…..but the end result is the same…..everything is soggy…..

…..this week Paolo was happily watching his soccer highlights…..when my older daughter and I pointed out a dripping leak from the middle of a moldy hole in the ceiling near his chair along with a corresponding puddle on the tile floor underneath it…..

…..hmmmmmmmmm…..so very much too say…….but…….I won’t…..

Suffice to say………….we’ve been getting a lot of rain…..

…..it would be nice if Laura (et al) would give us a wide berth…..

Our friendly/helpful/local meteorologist has said that if one of these current systems goes over the island of Hispaniola…..the island’s high peaks would help tear up the system and reduce its formation…..

(I just love Hispaniola).         ***Hispaniola…What’s Not To Love?***

So………….here we squat…..test-running the generator…..checking the pantry…..rinsing out potential water jugs…..can I bush-hog one more time(?)…..or is it too wet(?)—–(snakes just love standing water and tall weeds)…

…..you know…..that annual-hurricane-dance…..

…..plus…handing Paolo a bucket for the dripping leak next to his chair…..
