I'll try, but that's 11 my time, and I've got a big weekend ahead. This is the first weekend of public services for a church plant that I've been a part of since January. I'm in charge of the nursery and need to make sure things go as smoothly as possible!
I found this one on google, hopefully it will show up. It was taken at Grafton Notch State Park.
If you can, take some pictures on you bike trips and share them with us. We love picures here. :-)
That one is pretty too! I'll be sure to take my camera! :)
Walmart is sold out of everything. Our hotels are full of LA evacuees and people from our coast are having to keep going North.
My brother lives in College Station and we decided to both stay put because the chances are it will come over only one of us if we both stay home.
Another great poem. Thanks for helping us celebrate autumn, Jack. :-)
Oh my goodness!! And I just now turned on FOX and heard that it is a catagory 5 storm now. Please be safe, lonestar. I am worried about you.

I am worried about you and lonestar. Please do whatever you need to do to stay safe. This one sounds really bad.
FOX is now reporting on a Jet Blue plane that needs to make an emergency landing at Burbank airport. Landing gear problems. This is scary. I can't imagine what those 145 passengers are going through, not to mention the pilots and air traffic controllers!
Dear God, please bring them safely down.
Thank you, Mama Bear. We may take off tomorrow evening..I have a home in Waco.. I just read Waco is going to get tree toppling winds ..(so much for a complete escape!). The highways look like a parking lot right now..Many, many evacuees are coming from the coast and flood prone areas..to escape to safer environs..
This is my first hurricane...and it is a big one. Twelve hours in a closet isn't my idea of how to ride it out. I prefer going into an area farther away.
I think that is an excellent idea! Keep us posted as long as you can.
I have been through a hurricane when I was a little kid, on Guam (technically it was a "typhoon"). We had to evacuate to higher ground, but to us kids it was just a big adventure. I'm sure my parents saw it as something much more than an adventure, though. LOL
Good evening, Lori. I'm looking forward to the cooler weather!
Thank you for the poem, Jack.
I am too. But, after autumn we could go directly to spring, as far as I am concerned. :-)
But, there is a reason for every season and I need to just gracefully accept the fact that winter is going to follow autumn, no matter how much I gripe about it. LOL.
Hope you have a beautiful autumn, tulip.
I hope you do, too. Actually, I haven't seen a whole lot of snow since I moved to southern IL. I miss measuring snowfall in feet. :-)
I watched it on TV. Glad they're OK.
Yes, thank God, everyone is okay.
Yep, that was perfect!
Just getting back here. WOW...watching the landing... I think the cable networks made more out of it than needed to be BUT as a passenger I would have been freaking...I'm impressed with the calm of the pilots and the airline AND...AS someone who FINALLY solo'd... the bluejets pilots rocked!!! WHAT a great perfect flair....left rudder...dip the left wing so the nose ends right up in the middle!!!! TOO COOL!!!! ( ah hem...I'm repeating much of what my more experienced pilot husband said...but makes me sound knowledable doesn't it????)
