Hello friends,
Just a quick post to you let know that we are OK here at our bit of earth. A few of you have so kindly reached out to see how we are faring. Since we are at about 1400’ of elevation, we are indeed very wet, but not flooding. The rain runs down the hills and mountains and tends to flood the valleys below. Much of Vermont is in the throes of Mother Nature’s fury, and we won’t know until tomorrow or the next day the extend of the damage. A lot of us are remembering Tropical Storm Irene, which tore through the state in late August of 2011.
Please send good thoughts, especially to those who are unhoused.
I’ve been distracting myself from the downpour by cleaning the house (where I can exert some degree of control), simmering a pot of Cuban black beans on the stove (my ultimate comfort food) and stitching on this fun top designed by KZStevens. I bought the fabric years ago at Bolt, a fun fabric store in Portland, OR.
Again, thanks for your your good thoughts. They mean a lot to me. I’ll bring you an update in the next day or two.
Stay safe wherever you are! xo
