We watched as the ducks would glide by on the water...backwards! The wind just kept pushing them past....reminded me of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz looking out her window as the tornado lifted her house, and she saw people and animals go by.
I've had an awful cold and flu bug for a few days. I wonder how bad it would have been without my flu shot!!!
The power returned last night for most areas around the lake. The sound of generators has quieted down, and the wind has diminished considerably. We are fortunate to have a pellet stove, so we just hunkered down with quilts and sat in front of the fire.
It's good to be back online again.
Hope all is well with you!
Hugs....
Debbie
Glad to hear you are feeling better, and how funny to read about this with Thriller in the background.. good visual about those ducks!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you have been sick Debbie! I am so glad you are safe from the bad storms in your area too. NC was hit with some tornadoes but luckily nothing here in Charlotte! Take care and rest up!
ReplyDeleteI was so glad to hear from you, knowing the lake could have swallowed you whole. I heard on the news that 20 tornadoes were spawned out of that front that went through.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you are still there and not in Cananda!
Sorry for the ducks, but glad you had that pellet stove. People in the north know how to survive without power.
We had a parlor stove in Ohio and it came in handy many times.
My son and I have this stupid cold that will not go away and he sounds like his is going deep in his chest.
Hope you are feeling better and getting over this dreaded stuff that is going around!
Hugs- Tete
All we got was some wind and rain, rain , rain...sorry your sick I so know how you are feeling, I still have a little cough that comes over me without any warning:) Take care!

Well, Glad that you are feeling better & survived the wind... sorry about your pretty arbor, hopefully hubby can fix it.
ReplyDeleteWe had the great winds here in Holland also & now all the pretty fall is gone. :(
In just a few hrs. Beautiful to bland....BUT the sun is finally shining here today.
Have a nice weekend!!!!

Sorry to hear that you've been sick and had some storm damage! Glad to hear that everyone is ok though:@)
ReplyDeleteThankfully your damage wasn't worse -- and that you have a hubby who can take on the challenge of fixing it up. Feel better soon.

Okay here comes the nurse in me...please drink...a lot...and rest...a lot. Okay back to Olive, the ducks went backwards? I am thankful you both are okay. Have a lovely and restful weekend. hugs♥olive
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you've been sick. What terrible wind you had! The repairs and clean up are a problem, but glad to hear it wasn't worse. Good to see you back! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better, Debbie. I had the flu AND pneumonia shot. So far, so good.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your pretty arbor. Wasn't the wind bad? I got really nervous several times but we personally didn't have much damage. I hope things get back to normal for you soon.
Happy Halloween! Will you see the grandkids?
XO,
Jane

Oh no! We had those freak winds too, they were horrible! I hope your arbor is ok and that you are back to feeling healthy soon!
ReplyDeleteYikes! We have had some really strong winds the last few days in our part of Ontario, Canada too. Glad you are feeling a bit better and that you are back.
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. I'm glad that the winds didn't do too much damage.
ReplyDeleteStay safe in your little cottage.
hugs

Hi Debbie, So sorry that you've been sick! We missed you! Hope you are feeling better soon! Too bad about your arbor. Wow, those are some really strong winds. We had them here, too, now all is calm. I sure wouldn't want to be crossing the bridge in that crazy weather! Take care!
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie- I am so sorry that you have been sick. The truth is you probably got a flu that is different than the shot you got....seems that is what happens to people. I refused the shot at the hospital. In all these years of working there (knock on wood) I have NEVER had the flu...hardly even a cold. I have a whacked immune system so that probably helps! I'm glad that you are feeling better now. I'm thinking you were off work this week then? One more day for me and then I am off Sunday...and then hit a full work week on Monday again. So much for the new and improved schedule.
ReplyDeleteDebbie-that is awful about your fence/arbor. I hope it can be repaired easily. We are like you and we broke all records for highest wind speeds ever recorded (at a sustained level) in WI. It is still windy but nothing like it was.
Hope you finish getting well this weekend~ Hugs xxoo Diana
Sorry to hear that you were sick...hope you are feeling better now.
ReplyDeleteThat sure was some storm! We got it here in Ohio too and there was a tornado that touched down about an hour north of us...very scary!!
Have a good weekend.
~Cindy~
I'm so glad you're o.k. Tete was really worried. She keeps up on everyone on a daily basis better than me and she was really concerned. I know what it's like not to have power and the high winds(it's super scary!!!!). We have a wood stove now too and it makes it a little bit better, but no electricity is no fun and no blogging too-glad you're back up and doing fine!
ReplyDeleteI saw a cow fly by my window......
ReplyDeleteI swear I did.
