Waiting for Irene

I've stocked up on water, dog food, cat food and people food.  After some persuading, Lily (my garden lady) is safe in the dining room.  Flash lights and lanterns are sporting new batteries.  So, now we wait!  My area is under "tropical storm watch" which is less severe than "hurricane watch".  We're expecting 4 to 6 inches of rain and heavy winds in Central Virginia.   I fear fallen trees on my house after the ground is saturated with rain.  I wish we could fast forward to Sunday, but we can't, so I'll make myself busy and say a prayer for everyone up the East Coast!

    We have the same warnings and have done the same thing here in northern VA. Stay safe and I'll catch up with you on the other side of this!

    You are SO on my mind! You have done what you can and the rest is beyond your control. Stay put and stay safe : )

    Sharon:
    This is just so weird to be worrying about people in the northeast instead of the south, where those darn storms usually hit. Know that I'll be praying for your safety and will anxiously await word that you're safe. I've been through both hurricanes and tropical storms living in FL. We never wish them on anyone else.

    Be safe, my friend.
    Hugs from Tag to the girls; and from me to you.

    Sharon, wishing you a safe weekend! My son is in New York City and I am concerned for him as well. Hope this storm looses some steam.

    Oh Sharon! I do hope that a tree doesn't fall on your house! I'm glad that you are prepared to ride out the storm! Some just don't you know. Prayers that you and your corgi kids will be safe!

    Hugs,
    Angela

    I'm praying for all that the storms won't be as bad as "they" say! It's good to be prepared!

    Hope you didn't get a lot of mess, Sharon! Have my fingers crossed that you and the family, including your girls are OK!
