Sandy coming ashore in Jersey.

As Sandy comes ashore down in New Jersey, we're getting battered in New Boston.

We've already moved the cars in case we lose one of the pines up front.  The tarp on the Generator blew off already, I was able to get it re-attached and covering the generator.  The rain hitting the back of the house sounds like hail it's hitting with such force.  

The lights blinked only once so far, oops just blinked again, make that twice...  I'm sure that we will lose power at some point if not this evening maybe tomorrow morning.

We'll soon see just how ferocious Sandy turns out to be.

The wind is howling on the hill coming down the mountain from Weare, we can hear it coming before it gets here.

Good luck everyone!

Boys and their dogs

James & Jason were up a couple weeks ago for a jump in the leaf pile, some swinging, a little sliding, and a big dog soccer game.  As you can see both the boys and the dogs had a blast!

Here comes Hurricane "SANDY", are you ready?

There was SnoTober in 2011, now this year almost exactly 12 months later we have "Sandy" the FrankenStorm coming up the coast.  

Maybe this will be another 100 year storm, maybe not.   

We did the weeks shopping Friday evening, filled the gas jugs this morning, collected all the misc. yard stuff this afternoon, flashlights and lanterns are ready.  I think we're ready, how about you?


Here comes "SANDY", are you ready?

First Frost in October

It's all over now, October 13th 2012.  It was 28 degrees this morning when I got up at 7am, ice crystals on everything.  Furnace had already kicked on this morning. 





Silken Highways

One or more very industrious spiders overnight...  I was out with Rose and she noticed these in the garden.
