Hurricane Irma

I am preparing for Hurricane Irma, making a list and checking it twice just like for Christmas. I'm in North Central Florida about equidistant from both coasts so I don't expect flooding but who knows, lots of wind and rain for sure and probably power outages.

I have a Life History group tomorrow which so far is still meeting, and I have a doctor's appointment on Friday...just got a call confirming that, hopefully Irma will allow. Our Writer's Group meets on Sunday, but I expect that to be cancelled, but I'm all prepared just in case we have a miracle. The only positive side I can see to Irma is lower temperatures so although I may be without a/c, I probably won't need it anyway. Sunday and Monday should be the worst according to current predictions.

The only thing I really worry about are those 13 pine trees in my back yard, not a pretty site when the wind is howling and they are swaying. I hope those little animals and birds appreciate my not getting them cut down.

until next time...c
