I'm a weather nut..I love it, I obsess over it...it keeps me amused. I come by it naturally, my mother has the same problem and so did her father...he practically floated away during the big one of 1938 up here. So we'll be spending the next few days hunkering down and locking up everything that isn't nailed down in the yard..just in case.
There will be a garden gnome rescue mission..they shall be evacuated to reside on the sun porch to ride things out. Candles are ever present in my house and I'm taking the opportunity to work a little tea lite magic and made up a weather protection spell in the hope of any damage that we might get stays minimal.
Should things go really bad, there are bottles filled with water so we can flush and I still have the old fashioned hurricane oil lanterns that my grandmother had, complete with bottles of oil and extra wicks...the best thing about moving into a grandmother's house is that there is always something you don't know you're going to need, sitting on a shelf somewhere waiting for you to need it LOL
I'm also starting to gear up for Mabon. I'll be putting out my new fall altar cloth soon. I trimmed up the edges with crimping shears (left by Nana of course) and am starting to make lists of what I want and need for decorating. Amethyst stones and gnomes are two of the things that will go out on the big and little altars and eventually I'll hit the dollar store for mini gourds and pumpkins, leaves and flowers for my seasonal wreath. I still have to decide which tarot card "speaks" to me for this holiday...I'm sure it will come eventually. I love fall and I'm really psyched that the season is almost upon us!
