In The Eye
Hurricane Milton made landfall on Wednesday evening in the small Florida City of Sarasota where I live. It was devastating for many living directly on the water and I was lucky to just lose power. My home was safe and no damage other than to trees and plants. Many people and businesses are affected and it will take a while to get us all up and running again. Climate change is very real.

Her eyes blue like the sky

Still holding my heartstrings

A few days ago the Category 3 Hurricane Helene came up the Gulf of Mexico along the Florida coast. We were lucky its path kept it over the water but we experienced its fierce and devastating strength as it went by. I watched three Wood Storks standing next to the lake in the driving wind. They were all standing to attention facing the same way, and barely moved.
