Tropical Storm Issac, Me, The Creek, Rain & I

Relations,

I am not quite sure what to say at the moment so I'll begin with what's in my skull. Rocking on my rocking chair on the back porch of my mind and Spirit's. I have just returned from a trip to the creek where I was hoping to retrieve this extraordinary turtle shell I saw on the other side a few days ago. Maybe a few fish for Aunt Helen and Uncle Chester, our God-Blessed-Us-With- Turtles .A County fellow was out here dredging and making opening larger for water to pass through and out into the Channel behind the Lodge fifty yards or so. Here next to the preserve.

We are getting the outer bands and feeder bands from the Tropical Storm Issac. Much wind and rains that come and goes. Sometimes heavy - some times not. The sanctuary is water logged and swamp-ish. Now, that it pops to mind, I got caught in the rains coming home from the creek. Also saw what was approaching from the East. There's only so "this fast" that a person with six legs can go. So, I walked that fast. No shame here, Ma'am. No, Sir too.

While at the creek I noticed there were no fish. This troubles me very much and speaking of which, I will make a call in the morrow. I did see an amazing turtle though and once it saw me, it dug a hole under the sand and water. Crazy! Did find the largest clam shell I have ever seen in my life. It's intact too. Fossil like. Even today, I was blessed by the crossing of Paths with Turtle medicine. So nice and what Honor. I also crossed Paths with these two apple sized snail shells that had been removed from where they lived.

Yes, there may have been some sadness mixed in with this dredging of our creek. I'll have to visit this other side of the creek to see how it looks going out to the Channel. The County Fellow did an excellent job. Absolutely fantastic job! Where a feeble creek once crept along tires and empty bottles - there is now a creek with Florida sea sand as it's bed. Yes, I am happy! Very happy.

Hope soon the fish come back. It's possible with all of this wind and rains, the little fellers couldn't fight the current. I'll make a follow up call any way. True? True.

Got an alert on my telephone about a tornado warning. Do not travel - do not go out of doors my telephone reads. Ding-ding-ding, wrong answer to share with this to one like me.

I am heading into the Cement Pond for a spell, you see. Keep an eye open too! LOL! Peace, Ya'll!
