Like a Hurricane... I get so blown away...

As it turns out, I got distracted yesterday from my yard work mission. Mini-Dew ended up wanting to visit with a friend of hers after her hair appt. We never did make it to the bowling alley, and her friend ended up staying the night. (I'll need to get them up shortly.) Anyhow, I ended up chasing an evasive butterfly, who would not stay still, so I have nothing to show for that except for a bunch of blur. I did find some beautiful wild flowers that could just as easily be weeds, but they were pretty, so who cares? I will edge today before my friend arrives with her family. I did get some good house cleaning in, would like to have completed more, but you know how that goes.

I did have the opportunity to hear another weather related song while I was getting some yummy chai tea latte (I have people offering me weather related songs on MySpace which I have been loading -- the ones I am able to find -- on my mp3 player on the blog.) Unfortunately, I couldn't locate it on the mp3 player, so I will just share a piece of the lyrics. You will have to look up the rest...

"You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm getting blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I get so blown away."
~Neil Young "Like a Hurricane"

Great lead in for the tropical weather discussion. Karen has officially been called a remnant low, receiving her last advisory yesterday evening, and those remnants aren't expected to survive. Tropical Storm Melissa has rough times ahead as she leaves a moderately sheared environment for some high shear. That should pretty much do her in... I guess that's the way it goes. There are a few random waves out there, but I am not sure that anything will come of them. They don't look all that promising.

Locally, beautiful outdoor weather persists. Feeling the wind pressing against my face was wonderful yesterday. It was a fresh feeling. It helped me feel alive. The skies were hazier than I like, but it was perfect outside weather. We have a nicely (cough cough) capped high planted right on top of us, which should allow these conditions to prevail for a little while, which is OK for now, but with our chaser convergence fast approaching, it's a little frustrating to think we'll be sitting on dry conditions... let's have a little CG to get this party going... Actually, by the time Carolina Mike arrives on the scene, chance storms have entered the forecast... I'm thinking some good chasing is just what the doctor ordered... that and a few mudslides... lol (was it 4, Steve?)

Time to wake the girls.

Have a blessed Sunday,
