    Hurricane Dorian. It is threatening and slow to move away .the prediction is hurricane warnings. But not full force. A 20 mile wobble in the path could mean modest winds or devastating 130 winds. We wait IMG_5421.JPG IMG_5424.JPG IMG_5419.JPG
    They don't like it. The all clear is Wednesday afternoon...

    Yeah. I've been battening down the hatches all day. Plants will come in tomorrow.

    Got lucky. I have a strong house. If I got what the Bahamas got, my next email might be months from now or never. A strong cat 5 for 38 or more hours accompanied with a storm surge takes down concrete houses. I'm safe. But living shuttered up is depressing. And this storm is taking a long time. No work can start until at least tomorrow morning.
    Glad to be alive with minimal damage. Still, even with a good outcome it is an experience I hope not to repeat any time soon. Got to get back to growing orchids...
