weather report

The winds are wurfling 'round the house tonight - we're getting a glancing blow of Alberto's. The power has been on and off all day, and the driving rain is beginning to flood basements (not mine!)and make for soggy, slippery ground. Today I'm glad we have the woodstove (which B doesn't hear too often!) - it's so nice to sit, toasty warm, and watch the rain stream down the windows!

Now when does summer begin, 'zactly?

And I just noticed you added me to the BlogRoll. Thanks!

Darn -- Angela beat me to it -- I was going to give you the calendar answer too. Oh well, hope you're still dry and that sunshine is on the way.

I'm with you on the woodstove mess. I loved a wood-burning fire until I became the one that had to do the cleanup. Now? I'll take the gas log.

Whole lot of nothing going on

Last week, I got covid. For the third time, and this one was unpleasant in ways that I don't really want to talk about. (Life tip: NO ...
