Desert Dust…or…Hurricane

Desert Dust…or…Hurricane

Comments 0 Comment

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* So…we get desert dust blowing over us…OR…we get an atmosphere that’s prone for a hurricane….. Hmmmmm…decisions…decisions….. Of course…none of this is up to me….. But once again…here goes my best attempt at being an amateur aging meteorologist….. We’re deep into July…and there’s perhaps only the first sign of any tropical weather developments….. We didn’t have ANY named storms in June….. And so far…there have been no tropical named anything….. That predicted Super-Dee-Dooper El…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I don’t want to do this post….. It’s my annual obligation…of a sort….. It’s gotta be done…I suppose….. We just had the beginning of this Year’s Hurricane Season on the first of June….. Can you give me a Hip Hip?………….Can you give me a Hurray?….. No?….. …..I hear you….. I don’t feel like cheering either….. …..but it’s inevitable…as long as you live here…in Sunny Subtropical Florida….. We’re still in a drought………….but the burn…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* It’s hard to tell one opossum from another opossum….. But I think this is a different one…because he (or she) was bigger…his fur was healthier and smoother…and there wasn’t a hitch in his get-along….. Regardless…the other night…I was called out of my bed and into action to protect my poultry…(yet again)….. There is definitely a repeat pattern here…it always at night…after everyone has gone to bed…and I’m always in my underwear or my…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* I thought it only fair to give an update on Invest 94-L….. Here we are on the last day of September and Invest 94-L did become Tropical Storm Imelda….. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team of storms running in tandem like Imelda and Hurricane Humberto….. At present they are staying off our eastern coastline…and they might just stay that way as they run North by NorthEast….. But it’s not a guarantee……..

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* …..that Fat Lady Sings…and she’s not singing yet….. It’s been a quiet hurricane season…so far….. It’s been too dry for a typical rainy season…(but who’s complaining?)….. However………………… At present…we had thought that Hurricane Gabrielle might be the last big threat…but…she’s now headed in a round about way towards Portugal(?)….. …..(hurricanes all have a mind of their own)….. And then………………… …..there is Invest 94-L (perhaps a future “Imelda”?) along with Invest 93-L (who became…

*******Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps******* Yes Folks…..the official start of the 2025 Hurricane Season begins in two days….. It starts all over again on June 1st….. Yes it does…and so soon….. …..Woot…Woot….. …..(that was meant as extreme sarcasm…just in case you were wondering)….. No–I’m not excited about its arrival…No–I’m not celebrating it’s start….. …..I’m bilious….. I’m gun-shy about this coming season…I think that’s understandable….. I just can’t muster any puffed-chest bravado….. I don’t want it to start…again….. I…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Hurricane Milton blew out one of the walls of the chicken coop….. I felt bad for the old biddies…when we checked on the outside damage the next morning after Milton had passed….. …..and we saw them all sitting on their normal perches…but their fluffy backsides were exposed to the entire front yard….. We were able to keep them temporarily safe with some quickly nailed up wood scraps….. …..but a permanent fixed needed to…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Well…we did find out more regarding the vandalism to our fencing….. …..we found a 3rd cut in the backyard fence….. We haven’t heard yipping from any nearby coyote packs at night….. Doctor Brigid did say that her guardian llamas in their goat pasture were running and acting oddly….. …..but thankfully…no continued livestock attacks….. Maybe a bobcat…but…not a bobcat with a bolt cutters….. The Black Friday Sale surveillance camera purchases are starting to arrive……..

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** We’re planning the next stage of our post-Milton clean-up….. The pasture fencing….. We have to get the Live Oak trees off the barn and off the fencing….. The pasture fencing is really messed up…and we haven’t been able to turn on the electric charger since the hurricane….. Those two Oakes are really big…and old…and it’s really sad that they’re gone….. I think it was that tornado that skipped through our farm during the…
