Just Another rainy Monday...

or not. It was rainy but it was also windier than we have ever experienced at this house in 24 years. Wow!! I was sure we would a) lose power and b) lose trees. Happily, neither happened but we did have a few stutters in the power supply, just enough to neccessitate resetting the clocks. Farther North, in Oxford and Franklin counties, they are dealing with major flooding, a combination of all the rain and snow melt, as they still had a good snow pack from last week and the week before. (Saddleback started last weekend almost fully open!!!!) And the rivers down here in Central Maine will crest tomorrow once all the water makes its way downstream. I just messaged my niece to say we will not be attending the family Christmas dinner in a week and it was a good call. They all have have COVID there and are still recovering. No thank you, been there done that this year! We will stay home and have a quiet dinner - turkey with GRAVY (missing from Thanksgiving!) and a few trimmings. None of this over the top amount of food. We had brunch at the Weathervane in Readfield yesterday with the Longfellow's alums. Fun time and good food. Then we visited with Brenda and Garrett for a while before coming home for naps. Such is the retird life.
