We expected rain over Labor Day week-end. We knew there might be a tropical storm. But I wasn't expecting tropical storm warnings to be issued when the storm was actually over our heads.
When I went to bed on Sunday, we had warnings of nasty weather ahead--but the night seemed calm. I got up at my usual early, early time--in fact, I thought about getting my walk in very early, but I also wanted to get some writing done. I looked at the radar and looked at the skies.
Finally, I decided to go for my walk, staying closer to home than usual so that I could get back quickly if the weather deteriorated. I watched the swirl of the clouds. I kept going.
I have a new September goal: to walk 10,000 steps every day in Sept. So I kept going. I came across this interesting, white picket fence, with pieces of art work hung on it.
I got home just before a ferocious rain band hit. I decided that I should update my course shell for the online class that starts on Wed.--that way, if we lost power, I'd be ahead. I got it all done.
Between rain bands, I went to the grocery store. On the way back, I took pictures of the fence with the art.
All in all, it was a lazy sort of Labor Day--but not particularly restful with a strengthening tropical storm in the neighborhood.
I'll have to keep an eye on this fence. Is more art work coming soon?
