We are experiencing the mother and father of a storm here. The whole house is shaking - it's built of wood so it sometimes does this. The LL still hasn't come to remove the AC units so they're rattling too.
I battened the hatches out on the deck earlier in the day, and I'm hoping my big clear plastic tarp won't come loose and flap all the way to Wisconsin. DD4 came home from her job with haystack hair from the gusts.
I made dough for non-pareil cookies but then read the last few bits of the directions and realised it had to be refrigerated and then formed into little balls with floured hands and the little chocolate discs pressed into the top, so I'll bake them tomorrow.
I made an unholy mess clearing space for the Christmas tree, which we're hoping to buy tomorrow. I had to move a good few plants and of course they shed dead leaves, fronds, etc everywhere. I decided to trim one of the big Boston ferns to give new growth a chance to get some light, and discovered a little abandoned bird's nest right in the middle. It was the perfect spot for a nest.
The hi viz men have filled in the hole they dug, and left. I'll see what shape the tree is in next spring, with a good part of its roots gone. Hard to tell right now with the branches bare. It's a birch tree as far as I can tell.
Silkies hope your dye appointment goes well tomorrow. Glad you have a chair.
Sue good news of your DH.
