Kiawah is a bit warmer this morning and
definitely more humid. The sun is peeking through the clouds and
seems ready to keep away the showers, at least for a while.
When was the last time you were on the beach
down by the Ocean Course? The hurricanes may have passed us by, but
the rain and winds that they did visit upon us wreaked havoc on our beach.
The erosion is particularly bad past the Beach Club. Some places by
the Ocean Course drop-off five feet or more from the dunes to the beach.
L
It is 75 degrees at 9:15 this morning.
The high today is supposed to be in the low eighties, with a 20% chance of
showers. Tonight's low should be in the upper sixties.
Today's Kiawah Critter Count:
One
osprey by Bufflehead Drive, one
five-lined skink scampering along the Allee of Oaks,
one
American alligator
at Osprey Point golf course, dozens of snowy egrets
on Sea Marsh Drive, one
great
blue heron along Governor's Drive,
and one mama
raccoon
with four babies.

We have another fabulous morning on Kiawah
this morning. Not much of a breeze, but it is cool and beautiful.
The sunshine is out in full force, and it will be a wonderful day to get
outside and play!
Last night's Full Harvest Moon was simply
amazing! It began as an incandescent orange circle hanging low over
the marsh. It seemed so close that if you just reached out you could
touch it. As it rose it turned a brilliant white light in the sky.
It is 68 degrees at 9:00 this morning.
Today's temperature should reach the mid-eighties, while tonight is
supposed to be in the mid-sixties. Sleeping with the windows open
anyone?

on Sea Marsh Drive, one
great
blue heron near Glossy Ibis,
and one mama

This morning is a terrific kite flying time
on Kiawah! There were some very strong winds all night last night, and
there are still some slight gusts this morning. Once again our Camelot has
escaped nature's wrath. We are so lucky! We will probably even
save money on our fall tree trimming budget.
J
Tonight is the Full Harvest Moon, so named
because at the peak of harvest, farmers can work late into the night by
the light of this moon. Corn, pumpkins, squash, beans, and wild rice the
chief Indian staples are now ready for gathering.
It is 75 degrees at 9:15 this morning.
The high today is supposed to be in the low eighties. Tonight's low
should be in the low seventies.

Kiawah has no sunshine this morning! The
island was buffeted by a
thunderstorm last night, complete with strong winds and a copious amount of rain.
It is not currently raining, but we are getting a drizzle here and
there...
Joe Zambito shares today's photo.
Kiawah's surf is pretty whipped up with Jeanne so near.
It is 75 degrees at 9:15 this morning.
Today's temperature should be near eighty, with tonight in the low seventies.
Strong wind gusts are expected as Tropical Storm Jeanne makes its way
across the South. There is a chance of tornadoes, and a 70% chance
of more showers as well.
FYI: Jeanne has been downgraded to a
tropical storm. Kiawah will most likely see some showers today and this
evening from the storm.

September 26, 2004
There is an odd sort of quiet on Kiawah this
morning. No doubt this is due to the impending storm... It is completely
overcast, and lots of rain is on the way. If you have outside
chores, better get to them early, else you will find yourself soaked!
It is 74 degrees at 9:15 this morning.
The high today is supposed to reach the mid-eighties with a 50% chance of
showers. Tonight's low should be in in the low seventies with a

earlier this morning. Kiawah should see showers late tonight and tomorrow
from the storm.

We have another fabulously cool morning on Kiawah
today. Though it is a tad overcast, it is truly beautiful this morning.
Will you get outside to play today?
Those of you on the island this week may have
noticed seeing an increase in the number of deer that are out & about.
Fawns are traveling with their mothers, and with fewer visitors, the deer
are more prone to be around. PLEASE drive carefully. We like
to watch Kiawah's deer frolicking about, so let's keep them alive to play
another day!
It is Yom
Kippur today for our Jewish friends. Yom Kippur, the Day of
Atonement, is the most solemn day of the Jewish year. It is a day of
fasting, reflection and prayers.
It is 70 degrees at 9:15 this morning.
Today's temperature should be in the upper seventies with a 20% chance of
showers. The low tonight is supposed to be in near seventy with a
30% chance of rain.

to Florida now. It is still not certain that it will miss Kiawah, so
please keep a close eye on it!

The ocean breezes are soft and gentle on Kiawah this morning.
The end of September is proving to be quite lovely. The relatively
low humidity and wonderfully cool temperatures for most of the past week
have been a terrific respite from the storms.
Bob Struble shares today's photograph of
another magnificent Kiawah sunset. Have you seen one lately?
It is 70 degrees at 9:15 this morning.

Kiawah is lovely this morning, with a slight
breeze and loads of sunshine. It is another incredibly
wonderful September morning. Tough to believe that hurricane Jeanne could
give us rain soon!
Have you noticed that the butterflies are
back on Kiawah? Every flower bank seems to be draped with butterfly
wings. Do you think the blossoms enjoy being so adored?
It is 69 degrees at 9:15 this morning.
Today's temperature should reach the mid-eighties, with the low tonight in the
upper sixties. Probably need to close those windows!
FYI: Tropical Storm Jeanne has stopped
circling and is headed for the southeast coast. It would certainly appear
that Kiawah will receive rain...AGAIN...at the very least.

Kiawah is cool and breezy again this morning.
So once again we have some fabulous weather to enjoy! It would seem that
sunshine and low humidity will be the order of the day.
Happy Fall! The fall equinox is today - Mabon for you Pagan folks.
That means that today the amount of daylight and darkness are exactly the
same. From this point forward, the days get shorter.
It is 63 degrees at 8:45 this morning.
The high today is supposed to be in the low eighties. Tonight's low

We have more fabulous weather on Kiawah this
morning. The birds are serenading us while the squirrels scamper around
gathering acorns. Perhaps they too are happy about the incredible
weather!

There is just one word for Kiawah this
morning...gorgeous! A light breeze is blowing and it is nice and
cool outside. Leaving the windows open last night and waking up to
the bird song is certainly a rare treat this early in September! It
looks like it will be the perfect "get outside and play day". What
fun thing are you going to treat yourself to today?
It is 64 degrees at 9:00 this morning.

Kiawah is absolutely fabulous this morning!
We have a very cool morning with hardly any humidity at all. The rain has gone, leaving behind cool breezes and

weather? Tennis? Golf? A long bike ride? Whatever your
choice, today is sure to be a good day for it!
It is 68 degrees at 9:00 this morning.
No that is NOT a typo! Today's temperature should be in the low eighties, with

Looking outside this morning, you can see a
golden glow on everything. What do you suppose it could be?

do to soak up the sun today?

Kiawah is overcast again this morning. We
awoke to light showers, and it looks as if more will be present throughout
the day. The golfers and tennis players on the island must be
going nuts with all of this rain! Is it even possible to get in a
match or 18 holes with all this constant precipitation?

Kiawah is dreary and gray again this morning.
Though our Florida neighbors have certainly experienced far worse, this
September has produced some nasty weather on Kiawah! IF we don't
receive some sunshine soon, we may have to rename Kiawah Island to the
Kiawah Rain Forest! Everything is quite soggy, and there is no let
up from the rain in sight. Galoshes anyone?

Vacationers have headed home and little ones have started school. Folks
seem content to simply sit and rest. Perhaps we are taking a brief
breather before fall truly arrives?

We have dreary gray skies on Kiawah this
morning. It is a wee bit humid, but not too bad. Despite it being
overcast, there are quite a few birds singing this morning. One
particularly vociferous cardinal seems determined to let everyone know he
is around. His unmistakable song sounds loud and clear over the other
birdsong. Can you hear any birds where you are?

Eagle News: In case you have
not yet heard... the large old pine where

** Happy Labor Day!**
It is a wet and windy Labor Day on Kiawah is this
year. Rain and wind look to keep any celebratory cook-outs inside for
today. Do you have plans for the holiday?
Did you know? The first Labor Day celebration was September 15, 1882 in New York City and
was organized by the Central Labor Union. Oregon was the first
state to pass a bill to designate Labor Day on February 21, 1887. It was first proposed as "a street parade to
exhibit to the public the strength and esprit de corps of the trade and labor
organizations." Congress made the first Monday in September an
official Labor Day holiday on June 28, 1894.
It is 75 degrees at 9:00 this morning.

found a good book to read during all this rain? Or perhaps a movie

After being pummeled by storms last night, it is overcast and gray.
The thunder and lightning was long and loud, and lasted through much of
the night. Let's hope it has finished with us, at least for a while!
** Hurricane Frances **
We are still watching Hurricane Frances
closely. It is still a
category four hurricane,
with winds at 140 mph. Stay tuned to the
Town of
Kiawah Island's web site for further details. Or you can check

It is 75 degrees at 9:15 this morning.
Today should be in the upper eighties , with low seventies
tonight. There is a 40% chance of rain both today
and tonight.
Today's Kiawah Critter Count:
Two
great blue herons,
one tiny
five-lined skink,
several
golden silk spiders
rebuilding their webs from the storms,
two female
white-tailed
deer, and nine
raccoons,
four of them babies.
