Why am I grouchy?
enough time without the sea
makes me unhappy

Good news! Snowbirds are gone.

Bad news! It's in the mid 90s and no clouds.....so hot!!!

something is broken
too many girls in the sea
looking for lost boys...

#MastoPrompt broken

Sadly, #climatechange has made it too hot for male sea turtles to form. This is a problem. :(

Time to get the farm locked down, in-laws secured, the child off to visit friends and we will board up the house and hunker down. Be safe all!!

Our current situation! Our farm is SE of Tampa right under that nasty feeder band.

We took a direct hit from Ian in 2022 and only recently finished all of the repair and tree work necessary. While I am thankful we are being spared a direct hit this time, my thoughts are with those in Helene's path...
