And we continue the litany of joys of south Florida. The sugar ants seem to be having some issues and have not made an appearance today after yesterday's visit from the exterminator. Perhaps next time they will know this place is not a good hotel for them!
As for the floor - well, at least we are trapped inside together today and poor Gerry is not wandering around looking for a welcoming and interesting place to stay for several hours. But it seems that the floor will take longer to dry today as there are several coat applications. Beginning to feel under house arrest!
Now for the true joy of life in this season - hurricanes, although I must say that after this winter's weather followed by the tornadoes and storms of the spring, hurricanes are not the only scary weather phenomenon to hit the USA. The report from NOAA today calls for a below average season and hopefully we will continue our trend of avoiding catastrophic hurricanes. Here for Frances, Jean, and Wilma, and in NY for Sandy, I think I have had enough of hurricanes. Still and all, all it takes is one to hit where one lives and it is a bad season. Tarps and flooding and hunting for contractors, avoiding the dishonest ones, finding fresh food, gasoline, getting a cold drink and a hot shower and the list goes on.
So, as soon as we are free of house arrest here, we will check our batteries, check our lanterns and lamps, radios and digital TV, flashlights, dry food, water supplies, paper goods and anything else we might need - and of course keep an eye out for weather reports and a quick link to the airlines!
Still and all, we love it here and are here all year round, for better or worse and realize that no one is exempt from the good Lord's weather. So get your supplies and batten down the hatches.
