Official Squatch Watchers

Ugh. There’s a five foot difference between the expected storm surge (20 ft) and the height at which my home sits (27 ft above sea level plus a few feet of crawl space).
I wouldn’t mind a few prayers or good vibes or shakes of a voodoo doll even.

Hoping for the best!

They are forecasting a whole bunch of rain for us. We are in the highest rain expected area of VA.

For those with gnomes, there is a book called "When Gnomes Attack"

It's pretty interesting, and you might learn a little more about your house mates. Of course you might not want them to know you're reading the book, they may get a bit perturbed.




Not sorry

Thanks you gals!
Stay safe @CapricornFarm
And @Chickassan
I’ll check in tomorrow.
Trying again for a generator in the am. Took DH 35 years to say yes, problem is it’ll take a miracle to get one this late in the game.

I think I broke Taterhead!
I did bed checks and found him in the indoor dust bath.

I was worried he was injured so I went over to check on him. Picked him up easier then usual then set him down. He stood there a second on both legs then picked one up. I stepped towards him to see him walk and he ran from me.
Then promptly lived up to his name in another rather unfortunate way.

Yep, POO all over his head! I can’t leave him like that so I grab him and take him outside. I know there is a hose out there; so rooster held tight in both hands, but at arms length hoping he doesn’t shake his head, I head out—flashlight in my mouth. I set him down and he starts jumping off the ground trying to get away. Try spraying him gently and lose my grip as he loses his mind. Now I’m spraying blindly into the dark and tall weeds. He’s screaming. I mean SCREAMING! I’ve never heard noises like this come from an animal. He hides himself and I go in to retrieve him. Get ahold of him and the the fight is on. Screaming and kicking and flailing that would make a toddler proud. Still has poo on his head. So I pin him down again and finally get him rinsed off. We go back into the coop, both breathing heavily, and I let him go. He went and hid with his head behind a bucket. I tried to give a piece offering but he wasn’t having it. Tried to hide among the babies. If he wasn’t such a jerk ALL the time I’d feel a little bad. But to see that big tough guy hide—

Ahhhhhhh! I needed that hilariois bedtime story! Thank you!

For everyone in the storm path for the hurricane, do what you can to protect yourselves, your animals and your homes and outbuildings. Evacuate if you are asked to by authorities, otherwise hunker down and try to stay safe. The rest of us will be keeping you in our prayers and checking in. If you're not able to post, call a friend who can keep us updated. Hopefully the storm surge doesn't go over the predicted levels, and the rain doesn't produce major flooding issues. for everyone's safety and that everything weathers the storm well.

all of you.
