Hurricane Milton Arrives!

Wednesday, October 9

Today was our first "hurricane" day. Eric stayed home and worked from home today. I did make a run to Aldi in the morning. We had some light rain on and off all day. A pretty calm and mellow day.

I found this hot/cold pack for my neck and shoulders at Aldi.

One was a regular box of cereal and one was a family package. Hmm

The girls did a normal day of school. I finished up the last quizzes for the nine weeks with both of them. We have three days left of the nine weeks. Yay! I am glad we will be finishing it up right before Sierra's birthday. :)

I baked a loaf of my sourdough bread this morning. SOOO good!

I made a pot of vegetable beef soup for dinner with some Italian bread. That fit with this rainy, stay-at-home day. :)

As I was sitting blogging this evening, they announced that Hurricane Milton made landfall at 8:30pm. It is here.

Today was Cappie's Gotcha Day. It was when he officially made us his family and stopped living on the streets.

I just love this boy! We have officially had him for two years now.

Thursday, October 10

This morning, when I woke up, I saw that Milton had left land around 5:30am. So it passed through while we slept.

Nuggie will come to you if you have a cozy blanket.

A few of the reports from the hurricane.

I don't believe we received too much wind during the night. This is our third hurricane/tropical storm that has happened since we lived here. None of them were bad at all for us. This storm, we didn't even have any of our fence boards come out or even the toppers of the posts.

I thought we would have received a lot more rain than we did. What I can find is we got about 2 inches of rain.

I am thankful we are safe and didn't receive any damage through this storm. Many folks did.

We had a visitor. :)

Summer made a tuna cake for Jackson for his Gotcha Day. :)

This morning, I switched and did a different workout with a different person. Took a walk to get the mail and it was chilly!

The girls and I had some leftover vegetable soup for lunch. They are doing school and we will do a few tests today. No activities tonight. Hooray!

Cats sleeping - one on top and one on the bottom.

Made Copycat KFC bowls for dinner.

Sunset Thursday evening after Hurricane Milton.

You were supposed to be able to see the Northern Lights last night. I went out to try but just got a very faint purple - if that is what that was. See below.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...
