goodbye Irene goodbye...

it came in like this

clouds and gusts of wind

it did this

 down south right outside the house we stay in

that's the pier I took so many photos of last year

and will again this year

!!!!

It was bad in North Carolina and on the coast of Virginia

five people were killed yesterday

the total today is eleven

so I won't make jokes about this storm

I just feel like we spent the whole day waiting for something to happen

and that made it frustrating

the forecasters and weathermen on TV get dramatic and over excited

and that's exhausting when all you want to know is where is the storm

what's it doing and is it coming to my house

(two above photos from the net)

in our case the answer was

no

look we had a branch fall down

:o

!

and some leaves  too

look at the pretty "moss" growing way up there in the trees!!!

and a couple of acorns got knocked down too

I really don't want to talk about it

I don't care about tidal surges anymore

or which way the figgin wind is blowing from

or if the radar shows it better or worse than pictures

don't care what stupid hat the stupid reporter is wearing while they get blown across the beach

or hit by flying debris standing in the intersection of two roads right beside a very full dumpster

if I never hear the name

 IRENE

again

it will be too soon

if your name is Irene don't come near me!!!!!!!

:}

I know they had to clear the coast and get everyone out of harms way

of course they did

I don't have a problem with that

and it really doesn't matter if I do or not

it's the constant build up of nothingness

today it's the

well it coulda done this that or the other

it didn't

and that's what we should be grateful for

and yes I

 did switch it off

soooo much hot air

and it wasn't from the

hurricane

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is what it left behind

heat and humidity

just as it was before it came

:}

thank you all for checking in all day long

I saw them all this morning and it made me smile
