The calm after the storm

Well we made it. We had a lot of rain last night but the highest winds topped out around 15 MPH. Not much of a storm if you ask me. The weather this morning is cool and clear. I do appreciate everyone's concern though. The next one may not be so kind. So this morning the only evidence that we had a storm was a few extra leaves on the deck and the pool level being high. The goggled weather man is back in hiding until the next storm appears. But here is a short video I took this morning. The birds sure like this cooler weather. I need a blind so that I can get in really close. Can you identify the true kinds of birds in this video?




Have a great day,

Greg

Cute bird and bird house. I can't tell what kind of bird it is though, so please do tell...eventually. :)

We're just waiting on Ike and hoping he doesn't turn into Andrew.

Stay tuned.

Look at all those birdies and birdhouse and feeders.
You got me a bit dizzy when you spun that camera around a couple of times.

So glad the storm was kind to you.
We're watching out for Ike now.
Gustav came up and REALLY packed a punch here in AR. We were without power for three full days!!!
Hitonious guy, that Gustav.
I posted pics and videos at my place if you care to see Gustav's wrath upon us.
Have a nice weekend.

Greg,
Can you believe I have been thinking of you wearing those goggles all weekend? I am so happy that you guys made it through. We were blessed again to dodge another one, but I am keeping those that are in Ike's path in prayer.

Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper

Image
Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot, With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot. There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter, And cold cold milk, straight from the udder. And fer desert, get ya some pie, There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly. YUMMMM YUMMMMM Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music. Or so he said. This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert. Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. The

My plans have changed.

Image
Well I had plans on working all weekend but those plans were changed for me on Friday afternoon. About 5 minutes before I left work on Friday, my boss called me to tell me that they wouldn’t be needing my services all weekend. It seems that my schedule was so good that it could stand on its’ own. So there went 20 hours of overtime that I had planned on. And all those plans that my family made around my overtime were also changed. When I got home on Friday, I found out that the riding mower had quit working. How bad could it be I thought. 10, 20, 30 dollars to fix? Well we are talking $300.00 just for the parts. But at least I have the ability to do it myself. I am sure it would be around $500.00 to take it in somewhere. And the sad part is I could buy a new one for about $900.00. But wait, I just found someone selling the part I need on Craigslist for $40.00. Keep your fingers crossed for me please. Saturday, I went to the market since I wasn’t working at my regular job (as planned).
