I write this week on Monday before the big holiday. The weather forecast is for very cold temperatures on Thanksgiving.

Ever since I discovered celeriac and how easy it is to grow, I stopped torturing myself with vain attempts to grow celery.

My least favorite weather is windy. Last Saturday afternoon was pretty impressive. At one point I ducked down beside the truck out of fear.

I must say last Monday produced some memorable weather. Above the water, the sky was foreboding and downright scary.

I don’t know why last week’s freeze came as a surprise to me. It is the end of October afterall.

I cannot believe our good fortune here on the Vineyard. Floods, fires, hurricanes all around and yet we have been spared.
