I wish it were a bit nicer outside, I am sure you all know by now we are having a hurricane here on the Eastern Shore of the US.
It is raining very hard and is a bit windy and the worst has not gone past us yet.

We have made all the necessary preparations around here to insure safety but one can only do so much and then hope for the best!

Here on the farm we are some of the lucky ones we are on some of the highest ground on the peninsula so we will be just fine.

I added a couple videos that you might want to watch about the storm.

I also added one of the classic Blues Brothers “Sweet Home Chicago” for those who just need a break from the weather report:) I understand!
