Storm season in full bloom.

Debby’s squall hit pretty hard here, though other parts of Florida took more of the brunt. Flooding and pooling water spreading in lots of areas – including the roads – with the rest of the week forcast as wet.  Right now a tornado watch for our area. Holy cow -- tornado!

I feel for the sea turtle eggs resting snugly in their nests all up and down this part of the coast. The odds are high enough against them without blustery erosion and flooding.

Selfishly, at least I got a bike ride in before the precipitation fell.

Yesterday we drove to Ocala. We didn’t see much besides rainy roadside, but we DID feel an uphill... it was like being on another planet! We were escorting FX, who gets surgery today for a bone chip in his shin. He had a kicking spat with another horse, and, true to his other name, has a “Boo-boo.” Luckily, the surgery is out-patient; he can get it done standing up, which lessens the chances of complications. We’ll be bringing him a get-well treat soon, maybe by boat!
