the tide comes in twice each day. it is at its highest during full moons. our usual flood mark is just below the steps from the seawall onto the overhang/front door is high ground. the parking lot surrounding the land based part of the building, slants upwards to meet the parkway. the water based...
I've been looking upward for photographic inspiration recently. These are a few a my favorites.
We had some serious storms last night...in fact, we spent most of the night in the basement from the thunderstorm and tornado warnings. :( We also lost power around 3am. Annie and Angel didn't get any sleep (which equals momma gets no sleep either). So, around 8 in the morning, when the power came...
Poor little Bella had just woke up for a nice nap. Resin had escaped already. The babies are growing, but still kittens. I ran out of batteries so everyone else was safe. lol The Band played Fri and Sat night. I didn't go. I do not have the will power to stay off the dance floor and I am still...
So, I'm typically pretty excited for the weekend. I'd be more excited if today were actually next Friday. You see, next Friday, I go to court to kick my deadbeat tenants out (yay!) and then from there I get to retrieve Scott from the airport. But, this Friday I still have deadbeat tenants and my...
Well, I don't have any pictures or video for proof, but for some reason today, the wind blew hard and the rain came down for a short time today. I live in an area that is covered by the rain shadow of the Cascade Mountains, so rain during this season is rather unusual, and it is usually nothing like...
Yesterday after work, it was storming out. I listened to NPR on the way home and stayed behind a person who had their emergency lights on so as not to veer off into the maniacal race of commuters in the downpour. I kept feeling as if I may get into a wreck. Maybe premonition, maybe paranoia...who...
Heavy rains and winds brought down several trees in the northwest corner of the state last week. We lost power around 10PM on Monday, 6/9. Tuesday found us clearing debris around the yard. First reports advised that our power would be restored within 24 hours. Two days later (still without power) we...
First, here's a photo of my mom's room: The Blue Room. The sheets were in the dryer and the comforter was in the washer when I took this. I'll post another picture with the bed made: It was quite the adventure last night. Jeff and I got to the airport about the time my mom's plane was arriving. When...
It looks like it finally will dry up a little bit today... only to rain more tonight. Overnight storms left big portions of the area flooded. Even parts of Oshkosh were being evacuated. Some may not agree, but we are very lucky that the flooding wasn't much worse. It could have been more widespread...
Sometime yesterday afternoon, we lost our power. We weren't alone. Upon further investigation we discovered lines down in our backyard. So, we called Indianapolis Power & Light to report the problem. Their recorded Customer Service greeting advised that there was a massive power outage in the area....
We have electricity. There are still 70,000 or so waiting until tomorrow, but we are back in business. Now there is clean-up, but no major damage. I enjoyed seeing the foxglove had bloomed during the stormy weather and didn't get blown over. On the other side of my path was a tree with the roots...
Have my computer, have my coffee, what could be better? Actually I'm in the camper with the generator going so I have electricity. But I am getting very tired of the noise the gen makes. We've had 3 days of storms and it's still raining, with severe storms forcast for yet another day. I know some of...
I am exhausted. The storms started around 2 am and it's now just past 4 am and I have to go to work. I love love love a good storm, but this was nonstop major flashers and boomers, so I had dog noses in my face "mom, mom, what's that mom, save me mom" and two pillows over my head and trying to sleep...
Well, I suppose we’re all hot. At least anybody who lives in the Nothern Hemisphere is. Last night we got some horrendous storms as well. They came at us at 50 MPH! We were grateful, living in a woods, none of our trees came to visit us in our den. We did head underground for about 10 minutes...
Summer has officially arrived, it seems. Janie wrote about the storm that sent an umbrella through her closet wall. Although I don't live all that close to Janie and Steve, we got hit by the same storm. We fared better in terms of damage, but do have quite a few downed tree limbs in the yard to...
Nothing really exciting happened today. We had storms again, but nothing major. Not like the ones we had last week. That one knocked trees over, and flooded the streets, and had golfball size hail. So thankfully we havent got another like that yet. Though spring has only just started, and we dont...
Long time no write. Weird. I have so much going on right now. Kids are out of school, yet so busy. Work was really crazy last week. A lot of pressure and high visibility. I've been there before though, and I made it through again. Really didn't have much in the way of sleep last week. Or even last...
Have you ever seen oxygen in color or watched light dance to the sounds of thunder? The other evening, a storm overwhelmed my area with an astonishing ferocity. As I stood outside, drowning in downpour, I could practically breathe the electricity vibrating through the air and filling me with a...
Well, actually, after the storm photos... Our beautiful Ash tree had a limb broken off in the back. You can see leaves scattered about to the right of it: Our neighbor has been teasing Jeff, saying he needs to trim the bottom branches so he can mow under it. Well, now's a good time to do it. :-) Our...
