Make up your mind, Irma

Friday, September 8, 2017
Well, yesterday I was pretty confident we'd just get some tropical storm winds, but since then, Irma has wobbled again, and is now much closer to us than anticipated. Of course, that's all the media is talking about. I have no idea what crazy shenanigans Trump or North Korea is up to. I guess I'll have to check Twitter for that.



We're under a hurricane warning, and mandatory evacuations are being ordered. Thankfully, our neighborhood is far enough inland to avoid that. But James might want to evacuate anyway. I still think we won't get much more than Category 1 sustained winds. If that's the case, I doubt our power will even go out. Lol. I know, I just tempted Nature, and now our power will be out for days.

Since this morning, I've been busy getting all the remaining stuff outside, inside. And I might go out and start trimming the dead branches off the trees.



I climbed a ladder and painstakingly pulled down almost all the storm shutters--James and I will put them up tomorrow.



Most of those heavy plastic shutters had razor sharp edges, and were stuck together, but I was pretty determined to get them down so James wouldn't have to. I didn't realize how sharp those edges were until I stopped.


Right now, we have a beautiful day with sunshine and a slight breeze. I wonder how this will all look on Monday...
