The calm before the storm.

As I sit here typing this post, a hurricane is blowing its way past us outside. Thankfully the worst of it will be felt to our north… and though we already have tree branches down and will probably lose power later this afternoon, I’m not too worried. Maine rarely sees hurricanes so people were panicking and buying every battery and bottle of water they could find, but we lived in coastal North Carolina for 17 years. That was the time to worry.

Last evening after putting away the porch and deck furniture, bringing bird feeders and hanging flower baskets inside and tying down the grill cover … we did what one does on the eve of a hurricane.

We went for ice cream.

Cones in hand, we enjoyed the glorious show Mother Nature was putting on in the sky.

These are untouched photos from my phone. It really was that fabulous.

It was one of those sunsets you hate to see end.

  1. Beautiful sky! We are hunkered down in the middle of Hurricane Lee right now. Hurricanes have become an annual event here in Nova Scotia. Lost a big evergreen that took out some of my shrubs and fencing but other than that, we are good. Like you, waiting for the power to go out.
