Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

They said it was coming and I caught this shot

from my living room window 2 days ago. They 

said we wouldn't get anything from this giant

storm, that it would be east of us.

I woke at1AM to no power and high winds of

50 mpr and more. I could hear things

 crashing and falling outside. When

daylight came, still no power and freezing cold.

I put the puppies in some sweaters that were suppose to 

be Teddy's gifts last Christmas. For those who don't

know Teddy was my precious Bichon who passed away

right before Christmas. The sweaters are a little big but

they helped. Outside the wind was still gusting and the temps were

still dropping. I went from window to window and saw the 

destruction. My beautiful cedar arbor which was new was now in 

pieces on the ground (and it had been anchored to bricks).

Tree branches. lawn furniture all strewn  about.

Talking to a neighbor on the road below, she said trees had come down

on the power lines and had started two fires. She is still without

power. Mine came back on around noon.

 They huddled together all day and were terrified from the 

sounds of the wind howling outside.

On a cheery note I finished making my own envelopes

Here they are waiting for the glue to dry.

Some of the finished ones.

And some cards all finished , packaged and 

ready to go.

Figured since there were trees hanging over the power lines

on the road, I'd stay home and finish some projects.

I even cleaned my big desk top.

They say we are in for it again tonight so maybe 

I'll get more done. You never know.
