Nor'easter and Other News


Wednesday night:   Wave height tonight is over 14 feet and rising.
 A king tide is a non-scientific term for the highest predicted high tides of the year, which occur naturally when the gravitational pulls of the sun and moon align closely with Earth.
Temperatures tonight will be in the low 50°Fs and the wind is already quite strong here along the coast.

In further news...

 Chihuahua dogs are part Coyote!   
Lake Ontario is still Lake Ontario.   Lake Superior is still Gitchigumi  and the spirits of Hiawatha and Nokomis still wander the area.
 In strange news... my lilac has buds on it...and my Rhododendrun has a blossom! What in the world??

September So Far.....

 Welcome once again to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.   I hope you are enjoying taking part and as always, if you have ideas for topics please let me know here or in comments on 
Hello Friend!
Cottage by the Sea
.  

1. How has your September been so far?
September has been a lovely month with mild daytimes and cool nights and good visits with friends, good food, happy kids and fun re-runs of Bewitched and Ozzie and Harriet.

2. What events are coming up next on your calendar or have there been any special days so far for you?
 .  My new porch lets me enjoy watching the water. thanks to the Famous Anonymous kid who built it for me.
Coming up next is sukkot or the feast of tabernacles which is a highlight of the year.
I got to visit with my friend and that was special as I haven't been feeling well lately and spending time with her was precious.
3.  How's the weather been in your neck of the woods? 
Beautiful.. through rain and shine September's weather has been wonderful.
  As of late  Monday night now, we are expecting a rather severe Nor'easter and I am sick feeling it .  I ache all over badly and the storm may last for several days.  But I can feel storms long before they hit and this one will not be nice at all.

4. How can we be praying for you or sending our good thoughts your way?
Prayers and thoughts for my health are always welcome. I struggle with it a lot and it has altered my life a great deal.  Still, I don't let it get me down too much at all.
