Earl

Hurricane Earl is due to arrive in Nova Scotia tomorrow morning.

This of course means that anything loose must be secured or brought in under cover. Chances are high that we will be without power for some period of time, which also means the well doesn't pump, so no water.

The alpaca pools are filled to the brim, they like that, also meaning if necessary there is water available. Clean water is drawn for them to drink, and stashed away. Pots and buckets of household water are stored, the yard secured and all the glads now reside in a vase on the table.

Hopefully the corn, tomatoes and the rest of the garden make it.

The alpacas will have free access to the barn but won't be locked in. If our old barn becomes unstable they will be better off outside.

Wish us luck.
