Hurricane schmuricane

We stood in looong lines at the coop for emergency food, bought extra candles and batteries (though everybody was sold out of D's), cleaned off the fire escape a bit (though the building behind us had left an untethered rolling rack on their roof, and it's still there!), Craig spent 2 days at the studio assessing the possible situations and wrapping equipment in plastic. Finley and I went to a b-day party yesterday and hung out on a soggy stoop with a neighbor boy. Then last night we hunkered down. The wind and rains thrashed around and the feeling was "okaaay, here we go!" Thinking the storm would wake me up at some point I was surprised to wake on my own to... not much. A bunch of leaves on the ground, a bit of rain and around 11am... the SUN! I know there are MANY people out of power or worse so I will just say that I am glad we were prepared and so relieved that we were spared.

Here is the sun shining this morning... next to we have the spider mobile (or ghost detector as she likes to call it) from fairygodmother Nana.




UPDATE: The rolling rack is down! and I can't believe I forgot this photo!
