late october is a scary time...

one of four trees down on our road.
electrical wires, too.
this is our next door neighbor's house.
the trees in our yard had the good sense 
to fall into the woods behind us, instead of on us.

power is not expected to be restored for 7-11 days.

it is much worse south of us,
along the ct coast, in manhattan
and along the jersey shore.

this on top of irene 
and the snows of just one year ago.

no such thing as global climate change?
you decide. 

oh,
and
happy hallowe'en!

  2. Karen, so glad to hear from you so we know you are ok. All is well here on Maryland's Eastern Shore as well -- this time. Holding the folks in NY and NJ in the Light as they face a long recovery.
