The Calm Before the Storm

There's a calm before the storm. 
(It's kind of eerie out there right now!)

The calm was quite evident to me last night.

We are right in the path of Hurricane Irene.



Today is spent in preparation.

We are picking everything in the garden that can possibly be picked.

This is the sunset in my window last night.

C.S.Farmer is busy trying to secure everything for the animals.
Some of them are so vulnerable.
After a morning in the garden, I'm trying to get things ready
in the house if we lose power.

Please keep us in your prayers. Not just us, but the whole Mid-Atlantic area. With one little puff, God could blow this whole 
thing back out to sea.

Have a blessed and safe weekend!

    Thinking of you and everyone there on the east coast. Nature can be so horrific in her fury!

    Good luck! It looks like the storm should be weakening, so hopefully everything will be OK!
    Preparing for the storm and heightened anxieties is really hard on one's nerves.
