Good Morning, Barry!



It's pouring down rain. Pouring. But Barry, as storms go, will be fairly mild. Lot of rain and wind, but the water's not very hot and the storm will make landfall before it is able to develop much. It's coming ashore - on top of us - as I write this.

Here's what the NHC has to say:
NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 530 AM EDT SAT JUN 2 2007 FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO... THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS ISSUING ADVISORIES ON TROPICAL STORM BARRY...LOCATED ABOUT 180 MILES SOUTHWEST OF TAMPA FLORIDA.
The newscaster just said: "This might be the storm that saves a million lawns." Ha. True of mine, I know. My weeds (I have no grass to speak of) are so brown.

No worries. Barry is just our wake-up call. I'm ready for the season. Are you?
