*******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……..

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…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** I needed a time out from posting about Hurricane Milton….. The 2024 Hurricane Season is not over…it has another month yet….. …..sigh….. But I suppose this post quasi-qualifies as a post-Milton post…(just how many times can I use the word “post”?–Clearly one more time)….. This post qualifies…because apparently I dropped my cell phone a number of times during Hurricane Milton’s onslaught….. …..(what can I say…I was a bit nervous)….. Afterwards…I noticed I had…
**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** There’s so much to clean-up….. So much….. ~~~But We Are Still Counting Our Blessings~~~ There are so many branches and leaves everywhere (and down our chimney in the den)….. The trees all look bare….. Multiple burn piles are necessary…but things are so soggy…it’s hard to keep one going….. …..unless it’s an electrical vehicle…with a battery that’s been exposed to salt water…(flooding from the Gulf of Mexico)….. …..and then you can’t put out the…
**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** My heart and prayers go out to all of the victims of Hurricane Helene….. I’ve read the newspapers…and seen the television coverage…and watched the YouTube and TikTok videos….. ………….and it just doesn’t make any sense…at all…………. ………….it doesn’t…………. I’ve lived on the west coast of Florida since 1972…and in that amount of time…we’ve had a healthy share of hurricanes and tropical weather….. …..and I’m here to say…Helene didn’t play by the rules….. Granted…
