Hurricane/Tropical Storm Sandy is on her way. Mom and I went to Thicut to check on the house.Predictions are for lots of rain and gusty winds.

• I moved the small tables and green metal shelves off the porch to the back of the barn
• put the garbage can and recycling bin in the garage
• The yellow mums are beautiful in the garden in front of the barn
• There's NO wind today; it is very still and peaceful
• the leaves are mostly down off the trees
• And as I walked toward the pond, I heard but didn't see, a frog jump in.
