| Fall color earlier in the week |
Today we are cleaning gutters and waiting for the anticipated Frankenstorm that is poised to strike our region tomorrow and last for a few days. They are predicting power outages lasting several days...eek. We do have a generator but it sure didn't help during last summer's derecho. We struggled and juggled trying to keep things plugged during 100 degree plus days. After 5 days of no power I threw in the sweaty towel and hightailed it to a relative's house with power. This time, thankfully, it will be cooler.
The sad thing is that the beautiful multi colored leaves will surely be a distant memory after this week with torrential rains and (they say) gale force winds.
The stores are already out of batteries, toilet paper, and bread. Not that I need any...you see I always shop at Costco! :-)
Signing out....
Crystal clear
we are having a lot of rain here and I heard that's what it will be for the next week!
ReplyDeleteStay safe! Thinking of all my U.S. friends and hoping it isn't as bad as predicted. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you are prepared. I hope you don't get the brunt of it and stay safe. :)
ReplyDeleteI am hoping it goes east - out to sea! Good luck-
ReplyDeleteTake care Crystal and be safe.
ReplyDeleteWe will only get fringe rain to go with the colder temps.
At least you are prepared. Be safe, take care and lets hope it passes through quickly without damage. Take care.
ReplyDeleteWe're preparing here in northeast PA as well. Yesterday, the store shelves were already running low on a lot of items. Let's pray it's not too severe.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, Crystal and all my US friends and hoping that Sandy will be kinder to you than predicted!
ReplyDeleteHope your area doesn't get hit too hard by Sandy. Stay safe, warm and dry.
ReplyDeleteThe stores have been mobbed since Friday in my area! We have been preparing all weekend so if we do get water, we won't lose everything again.
ReplyDeleteBe safe my friend. I'll be thinking of you.
Crystal, be safe my friend!! I will be thinking of you! We are getting hit here in Canada on tuesday! Let's hope Sandy isn't too bad with all of us! Big Hugs ;o)
