Irma...
     Well, Carolyn and I are waiting for Irma. No, not a second cousin or a maiden aunt. Irma...the hurricane. We spent the last four days getting ready...bringing in patio furniture and pot after pot we have outside. Clearing the garage out for the car and a bunch of the big potted plants. the house is filled with plants, stuff from the summer room, and even some stuff from the garage along with hurricane supplies. A bit surreal. Saw a couple of lizards scuttle across the floor today that came in with the potted plants.
     It's a bit scary...waiting for Irma. Never been a fan of high winds. Right now the path of the storm has shifted over to the west coast, but you never know. It's a huge storm. Our son Patrick and his family are in NorthPort, just above Port Charlotte. they might get the brunt of it. May the dragons watch over all of us...
     Yes, I wrote today. My pattern. Getting toward the end of the story. Getting exciting. A way to forget about what's coming as well, I guess. Anyway...here we are. The folks in The Falls have blizzards, ice storms and mud. Florida has hurricanes. I'm thinking The Falls is better off. Take care...and for any of you nearby or in Georgia...may the dragons watch over you...
