Thank you Brad. I’ll be keeping you in my thoughts, I hope the hurricane shifts away from you guys. I’m just starting to see the images from the Bahamas and they are heartbreaking.

Leftover, but never eaten stew warming for my dinner; made it last night for tonight and lunch for tomorrow. It's hard to cook for myself so I cook enough for a couple of meals and it makes the effort more worthwhile.
Did my usual greeting with the O'cat at the door upon arrival home from work and scooped off handfuls of fur. Time to call the groomer. I picked up his brush yesterday and suggested he let me groom him and he drew his head back in disgust and made a face.
Bit of rain most of the day and it's cooler; there are a few ravens going crazy, what they're squawking about, I can't tell; everything looks normal to me - maybe they were fighting over a crust of bread.
Had a few birds visit the feeder lately, but no woodpeckers.
There are two young black birds that look like they must have been the result of a second clutch of the summer. They took turns feeding and retreating to a Poplar tree. I like the one with the punk rock look; what a tiny head for the size of his body and the feathers around his neck are a bit messy and seemingly unkept; he has a lovely blue bib.
I've been seeing ducks, pigeons and cedar doves flying crazy in flocks around here; I'm wondering if the hawk is back, but I haven't seen it.
Stay jolly; stay warm, stay safe.

Good wet Tuesday morning, Christmas friends!
I had a long, busy weekend, while my family relaxed LOL. Nancy and her sister rented a cabin in a nearby state park for the weekend, and they all had a great time. I worked on my lawnmower (to no avail), used my mom's mower on my yard, then I mowed hers. Then I had a large pecan limb down in my yard that had to be cleaned up. And that was just Saturday. The rest of my weekend was just like that.
We've been watching the slowly approaching storm, and it looks like it might veer a bit east from south Georgia, so maybe it won't be too bad here. Praying that no one else gets it as bad as the Bahamas did. Wow.
I hope y'all have a great day!
Hope it curves away! Stay safe!!

Happy Hump / Pines Day Merry Wackos 
Our light rain turned into a storm last night. O'Malley and I both jumped at the thunder and lightning that felt like something hit the fire station - imagine - I don't see anything on the news about it. Not raining now and none expected today or tomorrow.
Power flickered off and on twice, but only lost time on the microwave, the stove and bedside clock kept their time. TV lost the information for channels, but worked and the feed started filling before bedtime. I have three flashlights and two lanterns.
That's a little inconvenient nothing like people affected by Dorian. I don't recall ever having a hurricane. Our last tornado warning was back in June 2018, but it never happened. We've had some water spouts over the lake several times over the years, but they never hit land. The most damage we had was during a microburst that uprooted trees, flattened a few sheds and rooftops, damaged boats in the marina, but nothing compared to what others have endured with tornados and hurricanes. A few macrobursts and brown outs over the years as well. Our main lake is connected to Georgian Bay and the French River.
Merry factoid for y'all...we are home to an original NORAD site that had the compound built underground with a missile launch set to release from Trout Lake and yes, we tracked Santa's flight from there. They moved the complex above ground about 8 years ago and so sayeth they that the missiles have been removed - I do recall the huge flatbed carrying them out of the city many moons ago, but who knows if they were real.
Back in 9,11 several planes were diverted to our airport because of the huge landing strip for the base.
For films buffs, I've mentioned a few films that were shot here. The first ever starred James Cagney in Captains of the Clouds (a Second World War film) back in 1942 before I was born.
There's more hump day info than you asked for - hahahoho
It's tea kind of morning here with a cool morning; feels crisp like at the cottage. Windy and the rustling of the leaves makes it seem cooler than it actually is outside; sounds like waves by the seaside.
O'Malley the cat and I will see you at the Pines tonight for the grand "bers" celebration.
Stay jolly

Happy Back to School MMC! Today is the day most kids here go back but I noticed yesterday some kids already were going back. I never saw kids go back the day after Labor Day here. Kept thinking yesterday was Monday but it wasn't. Now we're already into Mid-Week! Have a great Back to School Day!

Good Morning .. Crazy week for me at work plus the kids start school tomorrow so it;s been real busy around here lately. Summer does not want to seem to let go yet as it's suppose to reach 90 today but we will only be in the 70s tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great day!
Merry Pines Day MMC!
Not too much going on here today. I’m going to make a Target run later this morning. Other than that I will be working on my daily chores. Dinner will be a new recipe for a chicken parmesan pasta bake. That’s about it for me. I hope everyone has a nice day, see you tonight!

Good Wednesday morning! Rain and thunderstorms this morning, the lightning was intense. It stopped raining just long enough for me to take out Loki. Another sign at work that Christmas is coming: a member of the social committee started talking about holding a secret Santa gift exchange at our Christmas party this year. Have a great day everyone!
Good Wednesday morning, Christmas friends!
Tonight's the night for our hurricane impact, so we'll see how it goes. If it continues to track as it's going, Bellville shouldn't get too much trouble. We're about an hour inland from Savannah. Still, they're talking about "tropical force" winds & rain, so prayers and kind thoughts appreciated. I'll be sending mine along to the Carolinas, as their time approaches, too.
Anyway, my brother now says he still thinks he can get my lawnmower running. Yippee!!
I hope y'all have a great, unhurricanely day!
