Good W~I~N~D~Y Afternoon;
Casey called before I left this morning to tell me she had rescheduled her Ferrlecit appointment for Thursday. She mentioned that after all this wait that 2 days would not make a difference. She did this for me, and if those 2 days do make a difference I won't be forgiving myself for not going into town.
It is nasty outside- With gusts over 50mph -to 64mph, we are under a 'warning' for these winds-
The barometric pressure has dropped to the 2nd lowest low for October, ever. So it was no great surprise to me when my vision started flashing this morning. I still have a bit of that headache even though I napped for a few hours when that happened.
Thus far this afternoon, my electricity has flickered about 3 times- Once, following a 'crack' I heard outside.
Almost afraid to look at any of my trees, I did go out to get my mail, (for the 1st time in a month or so)- hehehe
Greg and Casey fixed my mailbox this past Sunday, before that awesome Packers win over Minnesota!
The trees seemed OK yet; although there is one leaning precariously over the barn-grade that I hope will miss my power poles if it does go down.
Nor did I ever realize that the wires are very near to over my mailbox- Of course I didn't think I could scuttle so fast under the wires that feed from my poles to my house either.
That all said, I am seeing reports of significant damage on this side of Wisconsin.
Illinois and Missouri have winds at +70mph.
North Dakota is to be getting 8" of snow. A blizzard warning has been issued-
Our own wind and rain pale by comparison.
I can't recall if I posted any of this earlier and am not going to go in search of- I found it in my "unfinished blogs"-
(Usually I delete after I post them, but with me, hey ya never know). hehehe
Casey and I went to check out the new Festival Foods in Suamico a while back- Pretty decor they had-
Wonder if it will still be that pretty when this wind storm is over?
I did a bunch of cooking after getting plenty on $ale-
But in Fall one must keep everything covered while cooking/baking etc so one of these guys won't fall in.
I hate Japanese Beetles!!!
Are you hungry?
We got some good roast on sale- I cut it, using half for 2 stews- (one pkg frozen for later).
Mmmm....
And then using all my $ale things for the roast too-
Now are you hungry? hehehe
When we had gone to Suamico we saw an awesome sunset-
Save for 2, these shots were taken a few miles apart-
A sunset that looks like fire over the bank! So beautiful!
Speaking of beauty, here are some real beauties!
I can't recall if I have posted this picture earlier or not either? Even if I did, it is so cute, it bears another peek... hehehe
Behold the beauty!!!
And praise for these gals at DHPI- (Our Miss KelliBaby being 2nd from right).
Their department, 'purchasing', won for breast cancer awareness month!
Congratulation Ladies!
I do not know what they won- Recognition would be enough!
I have now heard 3 separate sirens go screaming past. I hope everyone is safe and this is just power lines down somewhere.
News will be on soon-
That said, I'd better close this blog before I lose it to this "windpocalypse".
Hope everyone is safe, sound, and warm.
My love to all.
XOXO
Me
