I was concerned, only slightly, about Hurricane Sandy. The track of that storm, was south of us, and did not appear to be headed our way. Still, I prepared with food and water, and gas for the generator.
I also baked and cooked meals, and generally kept myself busier than usual, to burn off the extra energy that I had. Stress does that to me.
As I predicted, Sandy went south west of us, and all we had was a little wind and rain. We did lose our internet and cable, but never did lose our power. Funny how that worked. I couldn’t communicate “online” for nearly 24 hours and I felt so isolated! I started telling myself I needed a “Smart Phone”.
Of course, by the time our cable came back, the thought of an expensive “Smart Phone” vanished and life went on.
The next day dawned dark and gloomy. We heard that it would rain off and on most of the day, and it did. Then, around dinner time, my weather bug went off on my computer telling me that a Thunder Storm was headed our way, with severe lightening, winds, and rain. The storm was moving at 65 miles per hour and was already in Concord. Next stop…our home!
Hubby ran out to put the fruit tree ladders on the grass, and turn over our patio table. No sooner had he come in, then the storm began!
The one good thing was, going 65 miles an hour, the storm blew by us pretty fast. And lucky for us, the real damaging winds were further west from us. A heavy down-burst hit Franklin, New Hampshire and destroyed a few houses!
Wednesday arrived with gray skies, which cleared from time to time. Hubby worked in the yard clearing some fallen branches, and as usual, I was cooking.
My heart breaks for all those along the Northeastern Coast of the United States, who have lost their homes to Hurricane Sandy. So, so, sad!
Meanwhile, it was Halloween today and Mandy sent me a picture of Savannah! I leave you with this bit of sweetness!
