Keeping an eye on the sky

Sorry i haven't blogged in a while. I've been busy crocheting a couple of custom orders I got on the same day! I also have been watching the weather reports on T.S. Emily. It's less than 1000 miles from me here in Florida. They can't say 100% what it will do yet since we are in the  'cone of uncertainty" The last report i saw said it should brush the east coastline and be off shore, but we are in the cross hairs of a direct hit. It's still to soon to tell. It may even grow to a hurricane. I haven't prepared anything differently yet. I went through Francis & Jeanne, cats 2 & 3. I figure this will be a "little windy" compared to those. But I will keep watching so i know if i need to put my potted plants away and such.
Wish me luck :)

Feature Creature

I took a picture of a ver big Dragonfly as it was looking right at me. The freaking thing looks like it has teeth!

The second picture shows how big it is next to a garden hoe handle.

August is NOT my favorite month!

August is not my favorite month. It is the height of hurricane season. The systems are really spinning off the African coast now and already two major systems have developed. Thankfully, not coming here to Florida, but close.
The storms really make swimming in the ocean dangerous.Even with all the warnings , people still go into the water. There where 20 rescues just yesterday and one death earlier in the week.I will stick with my pool, thank you.
So I will be keeping my news channel on a little bit more as you can never 100% predict the track of a hurricane.

The Baby Woodpeckers

The baby woodpeckers seem to trust me. They fly right down to the fruit tree and let me get about two feet away to take pictures now.
