The Storm Before The Storm

1 Jul

Dos Tortas usually makes its appearance early Sunday, but not this week. I had the blog ready to post when I accidentally deleted it. Argh. Today is the first day we’ve had electricity since the weekend and if you haven’t seen the news, we have hurricane Beryl barreling down on us. Too much stress and my mood is less than stellar. So here is a bit of our week in pictures.

Looks scarier than it is. Critters coming in out of the rain.
The storm before the BIG storm.
A waterfall outside the back door.

Needless to say I’m not in the best frame of mind. We will be fine, our house is a concrete bunker and we’ll see you next week. Send good thoughts.

      Actually the tropical storm that hit last weekend gave us the perfect preparation. We are taking the next two days to be ready.

    I was looking at the storms path just this morning and thought of you. My thoughts are definitely with you! Please, a quick post after it passes so we know you are OK.

      Will do. We have great support and appropriately placed sandbags.

    WordPress ate my first comment, or appeared to, so if this is a repeat, just know that I will be keeping you all in my thoughts as Beryl approaches. Hope he will simmer down and not be too awfully bad.
