Scattered

This is not a sight one sees very often: autumn leaves mixed with winter snow. We've been hammered by a freak nor'easter. Trees, branches & wires are down on nearly every property. There are nearly 900,000 customers without power in Connecticut alone. We are among them. They are telling us it may well be a week before we get it back. We're lucky in that we have a woodstove, so we're not cold; and we're campers, so we have Stuff to cook on. But right now, I'd nearly kill for a hot shower! I'm posting from my cell phone so I have limited Internet access. I miss your blogs! I promise to get back to enjoying them as soon as I can.

Storm update

We're out of power & likely to remain this way, maybe for days. 70% of our town is out; over 800,000 customers in CT, the worst outage in history, including the hurricanes. We had big branches come down from our apple & magnolia trees, the latter fortunately missing out cars by inches. Trees & wires are down all over town. No school tomorrow as several of the schools are out. We do have a woodstove so at least we have heat. We'll be sleeping in the living room tonight. I'm posting this on my cell phone but the battery is fading. I miss you all!

October Nor'easter

Well, we're being socked by the first nor'easter of the season. We've already lost power along with the rest of the town & probably a good portion of the state & the region. Trees are down on our street, and the storm is just beginning. I'm posting from my phone, but I have to conserve the battery. I don't know when we'll get power back--it could be a while. So please forgive my temporary absence on your blogs.

Creepy

I found this fish on display to be pretty creepy.

Flat

A wet maple leaf flattened against the window of my car.

Dessert

What better dessert than luscious fruit from the local orchard?

Minimalism

Earth, sea, sky: as simple as it can get.
