Auction

I received word that the county has OK'ed the auction and is to be held here on September 13, 2008. I will be so busy now and will be praying for a great turn out. This will hopefully help will the art gallery, which is my dream, to become a reality.
I have butterflies with lead booties doing a dance in my tummy.
Anyone that happens to be in north east North Carolina that day, please bring money, LOL
If you are wondering Why I have chosen this picture, it is very simple explanation. That is the highest peak for hurricane season here on the Outer Banks of NC. This is my photograph of "Calm Before the Storm" which I took before a hurricane came in later that day.

Finally--RAIN!!!

Due to the storm, to be named Jerry, crossing Florida we received rain for 2 days. Part of the storm escaped and came to visit NE NC and are we ever thankful for that. The temps have lowered and sleeping has been peaceful. But there was a draw back, the rain saturated the phone box and knocked my ringer out. So I get e-mails saying "Call Me" .... The grass is starting to turn green again and will probably be back to normal by Sunday. We have another day of rain to go... The Ginger Lilies are happy and the birds are eating worms again. I guess all is right and I'm waiting patiently to call Michigan, for my brother is under going major surgery today. All prayers will be appreciated..

Tropical storm "Wimpy"

As you know NE North Carolina has been in a drought this year, actually several years, and we were due to get dumped on this week-end from a tropical storm. HA-HA that was the biggest wimp I've ever seen. We had four rain clouds with approximately 1 minute of rain in each one. Less than 1/16th of an inch. So back to a little water to keep the plants alive.
If all goes well I should have a new picture tomorrow. Till then..
