Hurricanes and cherry pies.

The wind is fierce. That’s both good and bad news. Good is: all the leaves are blowing out of the back yard — fly, be free! — and now I don’t have to rake. Bad is: the amount of dust, pollen, mold, nasties flying around in said fierce wind. My sinuses feel as if they’re on a fast train to misery. It’s hard to believe a hurricane is affecting our weather. Another good? The wind helps us track down where to caulk, where to put window sealer on Our Old House. I made a trip to our favorite Ace Hardware on Hwy 264E to buy various weather proofing materials. Looks like at least part of my weekend is already spoken for… and we do, truly, love our Ace store. Bought a new 35,000 rpm Dremel for Val’s studio — her re-chargable 25,000 rpm just wouldn’t drill through the sort of “art” she works with.
