The Coming Storm

The coming storm, tonight and tomorrow, Forty or sometimes seventy miles wind blow. It's calm now, just look out the window, but something ominous in the air, I know. Remember Sandy, more than seven years ago? What a wild gusty day, when sky's grey, nerves fray, and even the cat stops to play. The TV … Continue reading The Coming Storm →

Get five books, but will only read one or two.
Once again, we only have continuous rain and no snow. What a relief.
It's a photo from yesterday. Today is sunny but the snow on the tree branches are gone.
