We've been having some serious rain of late. I've got big puddles in the driveway and vegetable garden.

My friend Sharlee called recently to report the Channel 4 weather to me. According to them, the tornado was directly over my house.

A person needs to be careful when hoping for something. Last column, I said I was looking forward to a freeze so I could begin fall clean-up in earnest.

It’s a week later and folks are still talking about the big storm. I don’t remember wind lasting for so many hours.

As I write on Tuesday afternoon, I wait unhappily for the impending northeaster.

I wore a sweater at work for the first time this fall. Whoopee!
