Good Night and Good bye folks!
This is the end of the hurricane season 2010. I will not write again until June 2011, if I'm still on this side, unless there is some really unusual weather event. Thank God this season is over and that it did not go to the end of the alphabet nor was it as severe as earlier predicted. My condolences go out to the families who lost loved ones during the storms that raised havoc on various places, most recently in St. Lucia.
It feels like Christmas here. Not only the signs of Christmas, but the air is cooler, the wind is currently howling, rain showers on occasion pummel the rooftop. Christmas is in the air. We have a calendar of events and always hope that the weather cooperates. Any outdoor activity is risky at the moment.
NOAA Weather Radio has mentioned a system with a 10% chance of developing. Between that low pressure system and a frontal boundary sweeping down to the south, it's causing the wind to blow up to 25 mph, sounds like more sometimes.
I have a question for lovers of Red-Footed Tortoises. One of our two took a walk and we haven't seen her since. She can not get out of our property easily. She escaped from the domain especially designed for them. What are the chances of such a tortoise surviving without water. She disappeared on Saturday 27th. Thank you for any information you may have.
So, all the best to everyone out there. Enjoy the Christmas Season and all the wonderful life around it. And if you haven't seen the classic movie IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE with Jimmy Stewart, it's time. Enter safely into the New Year. Party with a good conscience. Don't drink and drive. My 21 yr old nephew had a horrific crash in Florida after leaving a party. He was tired and left the party alone. It's a wonderful life if we treat it and each other with respect. God bless you and our planet Earth. May we save it from total destruction. Keep an eye to the weather and pay attention to the signs of the times. All the best for 2011! Smile!

P.S. I could be sending some photos on and off.
