~Ike~

We've been getting wind gusts up to 30 mph and rain off & on from Hurricane Ike. Key West has evacuated for the 3rd time in 6 weeks. So many watch where the EYE is and don't realize that these hurricanes are 100-200-300 or in the case of Ike~ 900 miles wide. He's a biggin'. I sure hope the people in Texas evacutate because by the time he crosses the Gulf he's going to be one big monster. I've noticed that when my weather widget is done on my sidebar, it when a tropical storm or hurricane is in the area. Geezzz, just when I need the Doppler radar I can't get it.

I've been on the west coast of Florida for 15 years not, and although I am fairly used to things getting churned up this time of year, it's still a real pain in the tush! But, like I told y'all last winter....looks like paradise here in the winter, but we pay our price in the summer and fall.








So I have 2 reasons to really want to be in New York this time of year. One to ditch the Tropical storms. The other to see the season change into vivid colors of orange, red, yellow against the backdrop of the blue sky and green evergreens.


And I do miss the small town of Scotia where my grandparents lived & whom I felt safe with, but I actually lived there for the 6 years I was in Jr High & High School. Then stayed in New York for college. I miss lakes without alligators, I miss apples that are crisp and fresh, the smell of a wood burning fire on a crisp morning with the smell of baking bread.


Oh, September 11th, is my blogiversary! I am one year old.
