I hate this

These are the kind of times that make me want to sell my house and head west...west to fires and earthquakes no doubt but this weather scares the dickens out of me. I've done everything I could think of to make riding out this storm an easy ride.  I have water, food, portable radio, camping light, matches, a full tank of gas, emergency numbers, meds, money, important papers, storm doors in place, the laundry all done, a sleeping bag in case it gets really cold, plastic for the windows....God help me if I have to use it......the staple gun for the plastic.  Again, God help me if I have to use it.  I'll probably have a stroke trying to deal w/that kind of emergency.  Everything from the yard is inside, including hoses and hose reels, clothes line etc. etc.  I tried to think of everything.  The only thing I couldn't bring inside are the 40 - 50' trees in front of my neighbor's house that always worry me when we have high winds.  If they fall my way, they're going to take out my power lines. 
I know I'm being a chicken but sometimes, it sure isn't fun when you're alone.

Works for me

Nicks/Celtics Game last night.

No need for words I guess..................
....except that our team, the Celtics won!

Before and After...another project completed.

Here's the chair that I got at a rummage sale for $15.00 last year.  My original thought was to use it on the screen porch but when I got it home, I discovered that it fit me so well and was quite comfy, I'd rather have it in the living room.  I just have to find the right cushion for her now.

Tuesday Night Throwdown

For me, that was worth staying up late last night.  Two alpha males circling the ring!

Just checking - I'm not sure how to do this.  So this is a test sort of.

My back yard, about a month ago.

Today my mood is happy, joyful, thankful, and whatever other adjective describes a woman who's had a good day.  When I'm feeling this good, I don't hesitate to purchase whatever catches my eye or my heart.  After a productive day at the hospital this morning, I visited my favorite little book store down town and purchased this book.  I'm hoping it's a narrative of the kind of life that I always imagined for myself.  What makes it special to me is that it's set upstate on Lake Champlain, the north country and the lake that are both near and dear to my heart.  I'll be happy to know that someones dreams really did come true.
