Just Watching the Weather

The last few days have been busy.  Golfer has been working on a couple home maintenance and painting projects.  I've done all the usual daily things and also got out and did a little yard clean-up of the mulched areas.  There won't be any mowing or trimming for Golfer to do for just a little bit because of the aeration and seeding that was done last week.

We've also been keeping up with the weather forecasts.  Hurricane Matthew has everyone on edge.  It's already done major damage in its path.  We have friends who live in the evacuation areas of South Carolina.  One couple is already at their cabin in the West Virginia mountains.  The other couple is packing up to get on the road as I type this.  We hope that they stay safe and their homes will be undamaged when they return.

As for us, the forecasts have been sort of all over the place.  They have been saying "just be prepared".  So.... the cars have full gas tanks, I went to the ATM and got some cash, the fridge and pantry are full.  As of the last report, it sounds like we'll get some rain and some wind, and the tidal flooding in the usual areas, but the brunt of the storm will miss us.  Of course, that can change with little notice, so we are being alert. 

Stay safe!
