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!

There is nothing quite like October on the Vineyard. Sunny with low humidity during the day and extra blanket temperatures at night.
