Books & Storms & Stuff

Lots of exciting projects in the works here. (Hint: more books!) Some fun maps, too.




















We were very fortunate during Hurricane Sandy, and only lost power for one day. (Unlike the two storms last year.) Most of town was out for more than a week. Even so, we had nothing like the damage along the coast, New York & New Jersey. Just devastating.

Below are some of the ominous looking trees that thankfully didn't fall on our house. (It was a different, scary tree story all around the area.) Here's the sky the morning after the storm:




















And then we woke up to 8 inches of snow this morning. Which is pretty. (But maybe not so early in the season.)

Gotta love a bunch of cords of firewood, though.
