That was some serious rain on Monday afternoon and evening.

Growing up in Rew, Penn., snow was a fact of life.

I’ve been on-Island too long. Last Friday afternoon was rainy and windy. I took a road trip up to Marion to fetch Violet for the Thanksgiving week-long holiday.

After Monday’s rather miserable cold, windy and rainy day, Tuesday dawned as one of those great to be alive mornings.

Last weekend’s weather forecast gave me a bit of angst.

I had another minor freeze last week but the dahlias are still not dead.
