Overcast with a hint of improvement

Today has been a quiet and sleepy day for those of here at Big Creek. My computer crashed around 11:00 but I luckily got it to come back on later this afternoon, after several long prayer sessions which involved some candles, incense, smoke and a long seance with a dead chicken. It seems to be working OK now but it is still exhibiting some strange behavior, especially concerning email. I can only hope for the best. It is just over a year old and that concerns me but I have heard that if you buy your computers at Costco they double your warranty. I did, so how cool is that?

The bridge over Big Creek this morning after the rains

The bridge was flocked with Cypress leaves from the heavy rains of yesterday and last night.

The water fall was really running this morning as was the creek.

A tsunami of yellow leaves spill over the back wall where, just in July a green avalanche existed.

Hurricane today

The remnants of the hurricane are headed our way this morning and rain is predicted for the entire day. This will give me time to work on my most recent painting and spend some up close and personal time with Moose. Iut is raining now and has been since very early this morning.

Saturday

On Saturday I drove into the Tractor Supply to get update shots for Moose and Jesse. Their Rabies shots were due and at the "parking lot clinic" the Rabies shots were ten dollars. I know because Dave told Linda and Linda told me. All of their other shots need up dating as well but at least these will be cheaper that going to the vet's office. Moose will have to get his other shots because he is going to "Pet's Night out" for a stay pretty soon, more than likely.

While I was filling out paper work and waiting for the shots for Moose and Jesse, Moose pulled his head out of his collar and went racing across the Tractor Supply parking lot, through crowds of people, dogs and traffic as well. It was a pretty frightening scenario and I was afraid he was going to get hit by a car. He didn't, thank goodness. He is a great little dog and I would really miss him.
