Friday was preparation day- preparation to hunker down. You could tell a big storm was approaching - the breeze and cloud cover increased. We had wind from the north.I mowed the low areas to lessen possible erosion; we picked up lose items that might become airborne; and nailed the shutters closed to minimize clacking.
We took a break and enjoyed the sunset. Dalton and Britt played Risk - a bored (sic) game. The outdoor cats came inside and hunkered down with us. Cowboy was very relaxed with the hunker down concept. Perhaps we all might be better off turning off the TV and relaxing after making necessary preparations.
The wind howled most of the night. A morning check of the rain gauge revealed about 1.1 inches of rainfall. Total recorded storm precipitation on Lazy Day Farm Saturday afternoon was 2.5 inches.
Mary and Jacob and a couple million others nearer to the coast lost power. We were grateful for being spared the ferocity that some experienced.
