Magnificence
This area is so built-up and tame that it’s really quite wonderful when mom nature gets her licks in.
She’s certainly doing that tonight, with screaming winds that knocked the power out briefly a couple of times and spooked the cats.
So we’ve got candles burning just in case, I made a big pot of hot chocolate, and we’re cuddling the Goths when they’ll let us. When power permits, we’re watching The Magnificent Seven on PBS, for the sake of the Dogs in the Vineyard campaign I just joined.
