Irene

Twas a few hours before Irene
When all through the homestead
Not a critter was stirring
Cause they all were in bed!

The bunnies were nestled all snug in the hay
While the kids were laying beside momma goats begging to play.

The chickens were roosting all safe and dry
And Baby, the turkey was dreaming of pie!

The geese in their nest were watching it rain.
While the ducks wondered if they could go swimming
If they raised enough cane.

Tinker and Bella were both standing guard
While praying the wind wouldn't start blowing too hard.

The feed pans and buckets were all put away
Until Irene hopefully passed the next day.

The oil lamps, flashlights, and batteries are near
so if the power goes out we have nothing to fear.

Now Irene as you come to North Carolina at dawn
Hidden Haven will be fine
And will be sending you right along.

How cute, Peggy...You are so creative. I am praying for your safety --and all of your critters---along with all of the people in harm's way this weekend due to Irene.
Hugs,
Betsy

She's not been too bad while heading this way.
I think we'll be fine the rest of the day.
We've been lucky so far as she blows through the night.
We'll find out at dawn's early light.
