This is my block for this week.

I am visiting the northeastern

United States, just outside of New

York City, and a sudden snow storm

hit the area yesterday.  I'd say that

is taking the frost on the pumpkin

a bit too far...

This was a very early snow for the

area, the problem is the leaves are

still on the trees so as the wet, heavy

snow came down...

so did the tree limbs and

the power lines.  I was in a

house, that was not my own, all alone,

with no lights, no heat, no phone,

no food ~ no fun!

Let's just say, it was a long night.

But today, the sun is out,

the power is back on and I

finally got to sew again.

This afternoon I am meeting

my old friend from grammar

school, we have not seen each other

since the 70's.  Things are looking up!
