Long Island is hosting an uninvited guest this weekend; Hurricane Irene. She'll be visiting the northeast coast from Saturday afternoon till Monday morning. Please don't be offended Irene....I usually am a very welcoming type person ; I love visitors, but you are creating a lot of extra work for everyone. Why couldn't you just visit us as a thunderstorm with some gusty winds? I love a good thunderstorm. But since you've decided to ignore my suggestions and visit beautiful Long Island in a very harsh way, I've been forced to batten down the hatches (as they say) and stock up on comfort food. Oh and put away every last thing in my yard that your high winds can take with you north of us to Boston! Every flower pot, every cute sign and decoration that took me all bloody Summer to find just the right place for. To stack up my chairs and collect my resin rabbits, squirrels and other assorted stuff out there in the garden that I cherish. Bill is busy putting away our patio table and chairs, and diverting our drain pipes far away from our house since we've heard you may drop 10-15" of rain upon us. I have stocked our home with the necessary supplies, and we will have lots of good things to eat even if we lose power. I have wonderful reading material of back issues of country decorating and craft magazines to read, Halloween craft books to look through, board games to play with the family and crafts to make. Lots of candles too. We will nest in our home till your worst is over , Irene and since you are coming and causing so much distraction may I just ask that you not overstay your welcome? Two days/one night is quite sufficient.

You are prepared! Stay safe....This hurricane is hitting too close to my heart as my son is in NC at Camp Lejeune....fortunately his barracks is made of steel and he shouldn't blow away. My thoughts are with you and everyone else in its path. Hopefully here in Lancaster County, Pa, we shouldn't have it too bad??? Time will tell and we will prepare for it just in case.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and dry!
Stay save and wishing you and yours'all the best. Love your new blog home... Hugs!
