Well the outer edges of hurricane Bill should be arriving here in a few hours. At the moment it's still dark, I just poured my coffee. The air outside our open windows is as still as can be and all we can hear is the late August chorus of crickets. It's hard to imagine that there's wild weather on the way.

My nephew Michael is arriving later today with a friend to spend the night. He goes to university in Newfoundland and I don't see him often so I'm thrilled. They're on an in between semesters road trip, racing ahead of the hurricane. I'll make a big homemade pizza - his favourite. I can't wait to see him and I have lots of Auntie preparations to do (mostly food related of course) before their arrival.

Love ! the Mad Men opening credits and theme music - here

Winn and I are just back from our early morning walk and we noticed that this big beautiful boat is tucked into our little harbour behind the big cement wharf waiting out the hurricane. It's just begun to rain, we need rain it's been hot and sunny for days and days. The harbour this morning was like glass not a whiff of wind ... yet.




I've heard this beautiful Joni Mitchell song several times this week, I especially love this version with James Taylor playing guitar and you know, well ... I could just drink a big ol' case of that big red dog. I miss him, every single day.
