It's a lovely late summer day in Washington DC: clear skies, warm and muggy, no wind. You would never ever guess that a big ole hurricane is heading in our direction if not for modern meteorology. I haven't been outdoors yet but I'm guessing that the quality of this day is very nondescript. Hurricanes tend to suck all the energy out of the atmosphere for hundreds of miles around. I expect today to be a non-day in that respect.
Here at the chateau there will be clients and cake (I've been baking.) After work I plan to head down to the Matchbox, not out of habit - I haven't been as much of a regular lately - but to sit at the bar and listen to the buzz about Irene.
It has been one of the weirdest weeks ever in Washington DC what with the earthquake followed by the hurricane. My goodness. What next?

It does seem like a non-day. Anticipation. Let's hope things will settle down after Irene passes.
That's a beautiful sky. Hurricanes here always seem to come in the middle of the night. Hold onto you hat!
Yes ma'am.
Took a quick walk. Strangely it is not a non-day in DC. A quiet late summer day, but there is energy in the sky. Maybe it's too soon.
batten down the hatches!
crossing my fingers that irene peters out quickly and the damage is minimal.....
BEAUTIFUL shots, Reya.
I guess they call it the 'calm before the storm' for a reason.
I hope Irene proves to be a well-mannered visitor, and the chateau and its surroundings are safe and sound as ever this weekend.
Regardless of the weather, cake is ALWAYS a good idea.
Well, a beautiful sky in your neck of the woods!
Hunkering down here, and , truly, a little anxious.
Hope all is well with you.
Cake sounds extra good!
ooxox
I bet you're anxious, Elizabeth. Holy cow!
Thanks for the prayers and good wishes, Jo. The sky was unbelievable last night. I've never seen so many different colors all at once - not ever. Weird!
I'm of course a bit anxious about my daughter being over there. After Katrina changed her life so much I'm hoping this one just blows right by.
my nana's name was irene. she was a soft, gentle lovely woman - a baker's daughter..... i hope that irene the weather version is blowy and rainy but not excessively so. steven
Irene means peace. Kind of ironic.
