I cooked dinner. I cuddled children.
I listened to the wind. I grew up with this kind of blustery wind but it still scares me just a little. It is that sudden burst where everything seems to roar and you don't know will happen next.

I can't wait for Cliff Mass to write about this. The man gets so worked up about wind storms that you think it was his birthday or something.

Tomorrow I will bake a cake.
In the mean time here is a sorbet recipe. It is pretty good stuff. Senor Onion says he wants some at his birthday.

Was thinking about the wind last night too. Funny, back in NY winds of 40mph would send the city into a panic. It's just a Monday night here in November. Until we get to the hurricane force ones, at least.

I love the blustery when it's daylight and I can see what's going on. At night it can be a bit scary.

At night... the trees can fall. We have a few very very large trees that border our garden and while there are enough brambles to create a good root system to hold things in place -I still worry. Especially if it has been raining a ton.

My family back East don't really get it. "it's just a windstorm with a lot of rain, right? It's not like a hurricane."

Well not exactly like a hurricane...if you're where the microbursts blast in it's more like a tornado.

We're on the 17th floor. When we had the nasty storms in 2006 even I got scared: windows bubbling in and out, the building swaying.
