The weather has taken a decidedly turn for the worse and I was so hopeful for the Autumn season!
This weekend stormy weather continues with (torrential) rains and gale winds topping 33 miles per hour even today.
There has been much downfalls of trees, limbs and the vegetable garden looks mighty sad! Cleaning up will take a while!
We are thankful of course to still have power (and pray it continues as we are still waiting for our little ferry to return to the docks).
The weather channel calls it Tropical Weather: Tropical Storm Jerry (North Atlantic) Invest 97L (North Atlantic) Typhoon Wutip (Western Pacific) Tropical Depression Sepat (Western Pacific) Tropical Storm Fitow (Western Pacific)...
It appears the fun is spread around!
We had to batten down the hatches last Friday in preparation for such squall but it is still an adventure to stir outside particularly at 3am when Mac needs to take a turn in the garden due to his medication.
In lieu of a long explanation, the Cephalexin, Temaril P and the Nolvasan are working their magic...Mac is almost back to normal after his encounter with a spider...The side effects means his Mum (that would be me Folks) must take him out every 4 hours (even in the blustery dark)...
Wellies are of course de rigeur! Holding a brolly might well get me a lift like Ms Mary Poppins...I could barely hang on to Mac's leash!
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Um diddle diddle diddle um diddle ay
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it
Is something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough
You'll always sound precocious
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

ReplyDeleteThe weather has been very much the same where I live in the Pacific Northwest of America! We even has a tornado touch down in our county today. So very unusual for this part of the country, at this time of the year.
I am so pleased to hear that Mac is recovering well. He is on very good antibiotics and receiving tender loving care...TLC!

It appears Mother Nature is in a tempest! We heard of a funnel appearing above Tacoma, WA...The sky looks angry above the island!
ReplyDeleteWe sincerely hope Mac is on the mend as his immune system suffered with his acute pancreatis already! We love him to death!
All the best Dear,
I have just been looking back through your posts to find out what happened to Mac. How awful! I am glad to hear he is improving. The things we do for our beloved animals. I am having sleepless nights because our boy has developed kennel cough. Understandably when he isn't well he wants someone with him, and I seem to have landed the night shift!
ReplyDeleteNow there is yet something new...I answered your comment which posted as someone's else comment...it bounced off a spot...Sorry about that Tracey! I just wanted you to know we are thinking of you and your boy!
DeleteSo glad to hear Mac is doing better!!! Stay safe :)
ReplyDeleteI can actually see a patch of blue sky if I squint a little...The island has weathered another storm...sigh...We are not out of the woods so to speak and we have been advised last night the ferry will not return in service for yet days...
DeleteKennel cough or Bordetella is a vaccine we elected to skip with Mac as he is never boarded. Poor Pooch, I hope he is soon feeling better and you can resume good night sleep!
ReplyDeleteMac or Shadow (as hubby calls him) never leaves my side so I ALWAYS get all shifts!
All the best Dear,
~ Take care of you and Mac, dear Noelle! And buckle down those hatches....I smiled of your mention of Mary Poppins...I was just talking of 'Bert' the chimney sweep..... on mine..Keep safe and cosy....Hugs maria x
ReplyDeleteI don't mind dancing in the rain but it must be warm rain.
ReplyDeleteI glad Mac is on the mend.
Merle........ ........... .....
Ah Merle! Be adventurous! It certain we are not going to see warm weather for awhile!
DeleteSsay G' Day to Angus for us!
The grass is always greener on the other side. We are having terribly hot, humid,unbearable weather. We would do anything for rain. Solid rain not just a passing shower please.
ReplyDeleteI only wish I could bottled it up for you Dear! I think it is safe to say this weather does not bode well for us here (I pray we do not lose the power as nothing can be done without the ferry!)
ReplyDeleteHang in there!
Hugs,
Send some of that rain this way will ya!! Glad your pups is feeling better!! ~Love Heather
