It is around 12:30 pm as I write this and about 24 hrs before landfall for this nasty hurricane! As it looks now, it will hit La. However we are being reminded how fickle hurricanes can be and usually turn to the left. And that would not be good for us. For all areas along the beach front rd. have mandatory evacuation. We will at the least get tropical or cat. 1 winds, storm surge up to 10-15 ft, and 5-12 in. of rain and power outage. And there is the dread of tornadoes (my big fear). It will be a long night and I hope to sleep. Please keep us in your prayers.
As I was getting ready to go to the store this morn. for last min. things.. Al called out for me to come to the front door. He had rescued a new baby turtle on the sidewalk, lost from his Mother. Soooo, with Al being the caretaker that he is; we had to get a big bowl to keep the baby turtle until the storm is over. Now Al has something to keep his mind off the storm.
As I look out the window, the birds are flitting around, searching for food and the butterflies are drinking nectar from the flowers as though they know what's coming! You know we learn so much from nature .
I will go and finish washing all the clothes and do some cooking while we have power. I will bake some blueberry muffins, some oatmeal cookies, potato salad and fry some fresh trout caught by son Danny. For me keeping busy will help keep me calm.
