still here


well, sandy left us with very little damage, just a bunch of small branches down and leaves blown all over the porch. i was surprised at this because the wind was crazy! it sounded like a freight train rushing past the house for hours and hours, and the windows were rattling away.  we have two huge maple trees that i always worry about in the wind, one right over the camper, and one over the chicken coop and the house. we've been extremely lucky with those trees. i would hate to lose them!

when i went out this morning, the clouds were beginning to break, and there was actually some sunshine in the afternoon.


this weekend i did some sewing with this sewing machine, a 1964 singer, that i got at a yard sale this summer. when i got it home i couldn't believe the great condition it was in, and it had every single attachment and the manual still in their little box! i had also figured i would have to have it worked on, but i set it up and it worked great! i'm telling you, that machine is a real work horse!! they made them to last back then, no plastic in sight! i finished the little quilt i've been working on, and i'll take pictures of it once there is some sun!

hope everybody made out o.k. in the storm!!

storm's a' brewin'


we visited our friends at their beautiful old house in ossipee last night. delicious fish chowder, crackling fire, old friends, new friends , great conversation and s'mores!


meanwhile, back at home, this is what the sky looked like early this morning...





we've put away all of the lawn furniture and battened down the hatches.the candles are ready. we're in for the day now, watching football, eating chinese food and drinking beer. probably we'll just get a lot of rain, but we will soon see!

keep dry everybody!!
