Oh dear, George, mayhaw is in the same boat as dewberry. What is it? .............. Grey skies make me feather my nest. Your storm -- or its kissing cousin -- is due to start in one more hour. We are promised 24 hrs of horror, with thunder storms, torrential rain and high winds. How come they don't call it a hurricane...??? I was hard pressed to find a parking space for all the food I had been fixing . . . Along with the 3 1/2gallons of O.J., the 6 qt pot of beans had to go in the fridge, since I did not like the ham hocks I had bought today and couldn't finish it. But then, where could I put the big Tupperware container of Chinese cabbage salad which would have to marinate for 4 days...? I carried it outside to the front porch (which is sheltered), but then I realized that this is the favorite haunt of the spiders, and it gave me the creeps. I brought it to the back porch, only I knew that the storm winds would blow it right down onto the rose bed, so that was no good. Took out my Bungie Cord with which to tie the darned thing to the bannister, only it was too short. Brought it downstairs to the trunk of the car, where it would be safe from predators and storms, and finally left it there. Whew...!
