The power has been fluctuating and I know I am fortunate to still have it. I hope I don’t lose power because it could take a long while to get it back.
Tonight’s sunset was absolutely gorgeous. The clouds swirled around like a carousel and just before the sun disappeared, the clouds became a dark purple and the wind really picked up.
Jene’ called me about 40 minutes ago and the wind had died down that enough I ran across the street to get some fresh cinnamon rolls… fresh as in I had to wear oven mitts. I came back upstairs and the wind picked up again. Lots of small limbs/twigs and leaves are on the ground now.
I will go into my closet in an hour or two and take my computer with me as long as I have power. If you think about it, pray for those on the Gulf Coast tonight. Ike is being really mean!
Sassy Dreams Awake
