Cold Front Came, Hurricane left


Oct 28th, walking Beau at 7:35, I took two photos of the front that saved us from Cat 5 Hurricane Melissa, It pushed the storm East and we were spared, but Jamaica was destroyed. I am thankful for being spared and pray for the ones that were hit so hard
Beau and I really enjoyed 4 days of brrr cold in AM walk with lows of 57 to 61 degrees. I even wore my orange hoody.
photo taken 11/30/2024




Yesterday I   posted this photo and Meezer commented it would make a great Halloween photo.
I spend an hour each day PLAYING at drawing/painting in Procreate on Ipad and 
here you go Meezer...your comment inspired my playtime.
Any of you want to give me your title for this ummm .......creation???

You look very fetching in your orange hoodie. Thank goodness that terrible storm didn’t inflict its wrath on you. You have had enough of that for one lifetime. But what a tragedy for the poor people of Jamaica and eastern Cuba.

Hello Sandra,
I am glad the storm missed your area. It is sad to see the damage in Jamaica. You look cute in your orange hoodie. It is in the 30's here this morning, I am not ready for winter. I would be happy with temps in the 50's and 60's . Take care, happy Friday! Have a great weekend.

Yes, we are thankful not have had a hurricane, but I do pray for the people of Jamaica. Their recovery will be long and slow and painful. We are expecting temps to drop into the 30's next week. I don't know what to do about our cats. They still haven't tried out their little warm beds. They take off and go find a warm hidey hole somewhere, but then Sunshine came home with a battle wound on his hind end. I wish I had a utility room that I could put them in and close the door so they couldn't get into things in the house, but they are so used to being free at night, I just don't know how they would be able to stand being cooped up all night inside. I love your orange hoody, and your creations are interesting to say the least. I'm not sure what I'd call it..."Lady in Red" doesn't quite seem to be the right thing. LOL. Have a lovely day.

Cute hoodie girl! (Orange suits you, I say.)
All I can think of is a twist on Dickens' -- Ghosts of (Halloween) Past. I think Yam nailed it!

Sparky said...

Hurray the storm missed y'all! I try to remember the folks in Jamaica too as one of our best friends' in-laws live there. They were hit really bad.
The hoody looks nice and cozy.
Yeah, go with the 3 Ghosts of Halloween. It does look spooky.
Sending prayers. xx

LOVE your orange hoodie!!

Ginny Hartzler said...

I am going to say that you look more like the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. Don't you think so? I am so glad you are having an hour of ME time to recharge!!! Lack of serious sleep has not hurt your creativity one bit. And you look adorable in the hoodie!

DeniseinVA said...

So glad you all didn’t get this hurricane. I heard about Jamaica and that vacationers were helping the people to clear up. Your card is excellent and I also like your orange hoody.

DeniseinVA said...

That is a wonderful photo of your neighborhood with that sky.

CheerfulMonk said...

I'm thankful thine storm missed you, you're already going through so much. If only it hadn't happened at all....

The Happy Whisk said...

You are so cute in that orange hoodie!!!!!

Very sorry for those who lost durin the storm. Mama Earth just blows through and does whatever she wants.

I enjoyed the Halloween fun here too. Your blogs, I love reading them.

Dear Sandra :)
I'm so glad the storm did not hit your neighbourhood. but so sorry for the people of Jamaica. You do look cosy in your orange hoodie, and have such a sweet smile. I would be scared to death if I met those three apparitions well done, they do look terrifying. I missed you whilst I was away and hope everything is as well as it can be,exspected. My computer died and I had no way of letting anyone know, but my new one is great.
Hugs
Sonjia.

Hi Sandra, it's so good to see you! I have never been more relieved about being spared from a cat 5 after everything we went through last year. I've obviously been gone from blogging for a long time, but I did check in on your blog back then to make sure you were ok. I'm so sorry to come back and read about everything going on with Bob. Glad to see Beau is doing well. I've missed you!

Has it ever happened to not have a hurricane during hurricane season? Haha, put me down for ghosts of Halloween past.

Brian's Home Blog said...

I really like your hoodie too. Y'all keep plenty warm down there. Big hugs from all of us!

Ann said...

Nothing like a nice warm hoodie on a cold day. Glad to hear the hurricane missed you.
We have snow in the forecast for next week I may need an extra thick hoodie.

Susan Kane said...

Enjoy your art! For me, writing is my sanity. I am envious of the hoodie time. Here in s. Calif. the temps are anywhere from 91 deg to 84. I don't know if we will have much cold weather this year,.

lexitheschnauzer said...

"The Devils Three" The weather has been hot - cold -warm- cool here too, it can't seem to make up it's mind. I'm grateful Chatt town is never in the path of hurricanes. Now, tornadoes, that's a different story!

messymimi said...

I wish the storm could have just gone out to sea and missed everyone.

Playing with your art for an hour a day sounds like an excellent idea.

Meezer's Mews & Terrieristical Woofs said...

I am honored that you made work of my thoughts, LOL! That trio looks ever so spooky! If I didn't know it was you x3, I would scream!

I'm glad that hurricane bypassed you, thankfully, but how horrific for Jamaica.

DawnTreader said...

I'm pretty sure I've never seen you in a hoodie before! (brrr)

Susan Kane said...

My goodness. Nothing like nearly living through a hurricane!

Chatty Crone said...

You looked great in your orange jacket. I am so glad that you didn't get hit with the hurricane, but I feel bad for Jamaca.

Meanwhile we are sweltering - it feels like I've moved back to Greece!

I'm glad the hurricane missed you. That is a great Halloween photo. Hope your day is going well.
