Beth's Patch ~ Winter Sunsets

Beth's Patch

As the sun was setting in the West over the Delaware Bay

The Super Blood Moon had already risen in the East @ 4:06 PM.  Hoping to see the total eclipse later tonight.

Feeling Blessed

I am lucky to live in a place that has some wonderful cloud formations and sunsets.  Tonight we first had a double rainbow over the upstairs before the sunset.  God's miracles are evident in nature.

Wordless Wednesday ~ North Cape May Sunset

Cabo ~ Last evening at Paloma Village

Behind on the the house's at the village was a Verdin's nest with Papa Verdin bringing food into Mama Verdin who must be sitting on eggs as I heard no chirping from the nest.  Papa goes into a tunnel to take the food to Mama.  Really neat to watch the process.

Sunset over Cabo looking from Kathy and Jack's roof.

Wordless Wednesday

Calm before the Storm.. a beautiful sunset...

Hurricane Irene is on her way with each media broadcast playing up the fact that Cape May County and more specifically the Delaware Bay is going to have a direct hit from the hurricane.
The county is under mandatory evacuation with the barrier islands being evacuated tonight and the mainland areas going tomorrow. It probably couldn't have happened at a worse time during the summer with this being the weekend before Labor Day.
26 years ago in Sept 1985 Hurricane Gloria came to visit Cape May County and we were spared major damage because at the last minute it veered up the coast and hit around Atlantic City. Russ and I had only lived here for 3 months and knew hardly anyone so I made him take me back to PA.

Now I have offered my services to my job (hospital) and plan not to evacuate. Since there are a number of employees who have already left the area with their families my offer has been accepted. Tomorrow I will get my valaubles together and pack the car leaving here Saturday morning for the hospital. I am anxious and worried that this time the house will be destroyed but if that's God's will so be it. Things can be replaced.
In the meantime tonight there was a gorgous sunset!
