dried up and blown away 2005-11-05 - 9:25 a.m. This morning as I was walking to the video store to return the video, I saw something I had never seen before and don't especially hope to see again -- the drainage ditch along Highway 22 is completely bone-dry for blocks at a time. We didn't get a single drop of rain in October, and the drought is expected to continue for the forseeable future. Minutes later: Maybe just by posting that comment, I turned the tide; today's weather report says that there is a 30 percent chance of showers. We'll see. My pond is also dried up. I suppose I should take the opportunity to fill it in, since we haven't had water circulating properly back there since Bill. The Turk's Caps in the hummingbird garden don't seem too bothered by the lack of hydration. They're blooming in force. I also had a single red Hibiscus bloom today in honor of my birthday. But I had to water to save the yellow Salvias and the Mexican cigars which are starting to look stressed, much to the disgust of the Gulf Fritillaries who were using the red milkweed at the time. I picked satsumas this morning until I got too tired, but there are plenty more. At least I've got one good crop of something after all of the weather-related catastrophes. Remember the house in back of mine? � 2005 by Elaine Radford They had about five hours total worth of work done on patching the roof and tarping the sides to hold it together until they can get a work crew, which probably won't be until 2008. Yesterday I saw a bird fly into their house. I doubt it's the first. I just can't watch the window as often, since the absence of oak trees means the glare is too strong on this endless succession of sunny rainless days. My evacuee's mother found out yesterday that she could have had her own FEMA trailer in front of the house, since FEMA called her and spilled the beans. But it's too late now, since there isn't room for two trailers. The saga continues. People seem more outgoing now. I don't know if it's the St. Bernard Parish influence or if it's just a general sense of "we're all in this soup together," but it's noticeable. For instance, yesterday, when a lady saw me picking out a turkey, she told me where to go and get a coupon for $2 off. Told me, heck. She practically took me by the hand and led me over to the wine bottle in question that had one of the last coupons hanging off. Some old Mandevillians (that didn't sound right, I meant residents of Old Mandeville, rather than a comment on their age) moved in next door. Their house on the lakefront was completely destroyed, so they are having the new one elevated by 15 feet. It's my birthday, and DH got me a legal copy of Photoshop. Watch out, world. later It's raining. I am now officially a crazy lady because I have just booked a mileage run so ridiculous that DH is going to bring a copy of my itinerary to work to give his boss a big laugh. I can't say much more while the deal is still live, since we're being asked not to kill it for the other flyers. back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
