Goodbye to You, Isaac!

Since Friday evening, we felt Isaac’s feeder bands with increasing force — Sunday and Monday were particularly…”active.” If you haven’t witnessed a tropical storm, hurricane, or their feeder bands, it’s a most amazing and beautiful sight — to stand in the open and watch a storm’s dark feeder clouds rapidly circling around you. The sheer force and expanse of these storms is awesome, and can put things in perspective.

However, I’m particularly grateful today, given our flooded neighborhood and city, that I freelance / work from home — GRATITUDE!

Flooded cul-de-sac

A new lake in the cul-de-sac! The other streets were equally…damp

And on another bright spot, the fish and ducks are VERY happy with the extra real estate.

Thanks St. Francis, for keeping those waters just a few feet from our little home….

Now, sending good wishes and love to the northern Gulf Coast, as a strengthening Isaac approaches on Katrina’s anniversary.
