Yikes! It's Ike!

Hurricane Ike (ok, "tropical depression Ike") has passed just to the south of us today and has given us torrential downpours and cold gusty winds. We have already had too much rain this week-end! Our pond has overflowed its banks and there is low-lying flooding. We lost power for 18 hours...and the lights just dimmed again a few minutes ago. Are we in for another dark night? Michiganders are not used to this hurricane stuff! The goats and sheep are hunkered down in their little shelters, trying to stay out of the worst of it. They are probably soaked to the skin.

If we don't lose power again tonight, I'm going to sit down with a nice hot cup of tea and work on my rug hooking. I haven't posted about my rug hooking in such a long time ... got to get back to what I love to do ... more tomorrow .....
~~~
I hope you stayed dry this week-end!

Hi Kris ~ I had to laugh as I was reading your blog tonite ~ in the middle of last week, I finally wrote about the storm at our place on Sunday which I titled "YIKES, IKE!" and then I read your title regarding the storm!! Looks like I was a copy cat but I hadn't read yours till tonite!! Funny ~ creative minds must think alike!! Love the hair on your witch and the mane on your lion ~ I need to get the hook out, too!!
