THIS LOOKS TRANQUIL

BUT IT'S FAR FROM IT. TODAY IS THE DAY WHEN ALL THE LEAVES WERE BLOWN OFF ALL THE TREES. WE HAD HEAVY RAIN SHOWERS WITH GALE FORCE WINDS WHICH LASTED ALL DAY. IF THIS IS OUR PRELUDE TO OUR WINTER. IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG HARD ONE. IT'S A NIGHT FOR STAYING IN, PUT ON A BIG FIRE & BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES.
