Not sure what the next few days will hold...despite her cute-as-a-button name, Sandy is apparently going to be a mean girl. I will post when I can, but all indications are that power outages will be widespread. I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that front...and also that the giant oak tree next to our house lives to tell the tale of surviving yet another storm. We take care of our trees--and this big one is beautiful!--but this is not a fun time to live on a wooded lot. How I long for those flat, empty vistas I saw this summer in De Smet, South Dakota!
