Millie Weathers the Storm by olivetreeann

Millie Weathers the Storm

I'm not sure whether "he" was a hurricane or just a tropical storm but Isaias dumped 7 1/2 inches of rain on us today and knocked out the power twice. But tonight the crickets,cicadas and katydids are chirping away as if nothing has happened. Millie weathered the storm safely staying indoors but we set up a little umbrella by the window just to show you we stayed dry. I'm just glad the electricity's back on now, the towels are washed and dried and I can view your great pictures on 365 before I go to bed!
Sounds like you got through that storm relatively safely. Love how you showed it.

Glad you got through it without last loss of power - hear the winds have been horrific up there.
August 5th, 2020  
Glad you and Millie are OK! Cute shot.

Lucky Millie has that umbrella

It did look rather ferocious on the maps that I saw! That cocktail umbrella has other uses as well!

Wow, that’s a lot of rain! Central Virginia only got 3 inches.

Too cute, love her umbrella and hope it does not get wet ;-)
August 5th, 2020  
Wow that is quite the storm
August 5th, 2020  
That just made me smile out loud this morning - what a fun image! Glad your power is restored.

Good to see Millie survived the storm
August 5th, 2020  
Glad to see everyone is weathering the storm okay!

A week ago we were predicted to get 2 days of rain we barely got 2 hours but we did get winds. I will get a picture of my yard and post when the sun comes out. Not posting today but probably tomorrow.

So glad you are looking after Millie's well being!
August 5th, 2020  
Too cute. Love it. I'm glad everyone is okay after the storm. We didn't get any of it here.
August 5th, 2020  
Glad all is well. Millie is too cute with her umbrella!
August 5th, 2020  
It's good to be on the dry side of the window! Stay safe.
August 5th, 2020  
Very cute and funny display. Lol.
August 5th, 2020  
Cute.

Glad to hear rain and loss of power were your only problems. Cute shot of Millie and I especially like the screen in the background.

Thank you all- the sun was out today and the temperate was heavenly!

@grammyn She's on the inside window sill fyi Don't tell her but that umbrella is not really storm worthy!

@olivetreeann LOL More of a parasol than an umbrella!
August 6th, 2020  
You did a lot better then we did
August 6th, 2020  
Seems you are ready for any weather! Cute shot :)
August 6th, 2020  
Haha loving your creativity. The umbrella has Millie ready for anything.

@hjbenson So I see- it's funny how storms do that. The most unique one was the storm that basically by-passed the coast and wiped out VT. For the life of me I can't remember who it was named after. Thanks Harry!

@lmsa Thanks Louise! We are now- but when we first moved here it was a different story!

@cjphoto Thank you Chris! This was such a quick shot. I'd do things much differently today- but it's no longer raining!

This shot of Millie reminds me of a panel from a manga - the composition, the use of the screen as texture and storytelling... Neat!
