Hi! Who ever expected my first post of the New Year would be a hurricane watch update! The weather folks have been having a ball all day with their dire warnings and forecasts. "Bomb Cyclone"! LOL. Who thinks this stuff up?
My clinic treatment , which NEVER is changed, is rescheduled for Monday, sigh.
Personally I think the storm will miss us here. Which would be a good thing! Look at this sky!
No ominous at all. Except for the dark band of clouds behind the ships. This photo is looking south southwest, New Jersey coast to far right, out of the photo.
I will try to add posts if things deteriorate. So far, all is very calm, and not quite so cold.
Note they are calling for barometric pressure as low and winds as high as H Sandy. [last line, below]
That would be bad and I may lose power. However I do not have a migraine aura or any migraine symptoms yet at all, which is what leads me to hope the storm will stay out to sea. Very low pressure is my greatest migraine trigger; H Sandy was one of the worst headaches I have ever had.
Mo is ready!
He looks so tiny here! But he is not! And he jumped on the dining table and ate a huge bowl of steamed veggies, when I went to the kitchen last night, left him briefly unsupervised. He is waddling.
But what Mo really likes is the winter sun warming his bones all afternoon.
He glares at me til I fail to move the bed as the sun shifts.
He especially likes lying under the dappled shade of his lime tree from the summer deck. All is right with Mo's world when he can enjoy a sunny nap. [yes, I know the lime tree looks poorly, I'll trim it back once I harvest these last fruits.]
On another more fun note, look at what we saw at Home Goods! They were hard to photograph, and pushy ladies kept shoving me ''outta the way!''...but so inventive and adorable! Giant tin cooky cutters!
Waist high so 3 1/2 feet tall? If I have a place to store them they'd have come home with me for sure, especially the snowman. Wonderfully exact replicas of traditional shapes. [I wish I'd bought him too bad!]
I got a little lavender plant for my thrifted sugar pot, I'll show you next time. It smells so good when the sun hits the tender grey green leaves.
Tonight we're having stirfry, lots of nice vegs on brown rice, leftover beef and pork loin optional. I have plenty of food on hand, so all should be okay. Stay warm!
love

Bad Mo, getting on the table! At least he didn't eat something that would hurt him. Although it's annoying, I know.
ReplyDeleteI hope the storm misses you, or at most you get the fringes of it. Hopefully you'll keep your power!
I can't believe Mo jumped up on the table!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I'm hearing of the "bomb cyclone"! I hope the news is overblowing it and it passes quickly.
The large size cookie cutter shapes are so cute! Stay safe!
Oh Mo! At least he ate his veggies. :) How crazy that there would be a storm now. An IG friend is in France and posted about the damage they received from it. Lots of trees down with the wind, shingles and roofs damaged. Sure hope it doesn't hit the US. Lord knows there's been enough catastrophe the past year. Am really hoping that 2018 will be so much better.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and Mo (who looks so good in that colour). Seems like the weather has gone barmy in many places. We've had really unseasonable temperatures from quite cold to the usual high ones, all in a matter of days.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun cookie cutters. I could see one on a verandah wall with a pot or two of cascading plants.
Keep safe. Penny
Hope the storm passes you. Cannot imagine hurricane warnings this time of year. Keep warm and safe. (((((hugs)))))
ReplyDeleteWell, I am going to trust your intuition about the storm. I'm not sure you had mentioned your Hurricane Sandy Migraine at the time...very interesting. Glad you are well stocked, and otherwise prepared, just in case.
ReplyDeleteMo is my spirit animal, lol. I feel as though I'm waddling these days, and I will follow a patch of sun on a winter day too! It would take more than steamed veggies to get me to jump on a table though ;)
The cookie cutters are pretty cute. Maybe you'll figure out a way to justify getting the snowman. Are they meant to be outdoors?
Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Always appreciated.
Kel
Stay warm! Jersey got 12" to 16" of snow today by me. It is cold & windy here!
ReplyDeleteHope your two are doing well and short walks outdoors. Mo is so cute with his hat on, waddle waddle waddle.

Hi there! How is it going? I am hoping you are doing okay. And that the weather folks over hyped the storm again. We were supposed to get a ton of snow last Friday, but it never happened. Stay safe and warm. :) Kit
