Batten down the hatches aka THAR SHE BLOWS!

"I cannot emphasize enough to the folks that live in the Florida Keys: A hurricane is coming," Gov. Jeb Bush said. "Perhaps people are saying, 'I'm going to hunker down.' They shouldn't do that. They should evacuate, and there's very little time left to do so."

Yeah...so no hunkering down...the only problem that I see is that I'm not sure what the opposite of hunkering down is.

I'm always freaked out when anything unusual happens in nature. Well, I get freaked out by anything out of the ordinary in relation to other things too. But I digress. I remember seeing the moon appear about 4 times as large as normal, and red at that, one time when I was out at night as a child. I was so scared, thinking that something was really wrong in the world for the moon to look so freakishly large and red. I still don't know what caused it, but now I know it's nothing to freak out about.

I also have a hard time with freaky looking sky coloration patterns:



This is what the sky looked like just 10 minutes ago (and I know my camera doesn't capture the color perfectly, but it was pretty close on this one). I looked outside and it was a very weird sort of purpley color. My first thought? TORNADO. I guess I've only ever heard about weird colored sky in association with tornados. Maybe I should be studying meteorology!

Che-ch-che-ch-check it out

Talk about weird:

A blueberry picking we shall go...

Last Wednesday we went blueberry picking. It was peaceful, we saw a deer, and we got three pounds of blueberries for $4. Yeah!
