Re: nor'easter

Never thought of it before, Chris, but it sounds a lot like our hurricane drills--secure the loose stuff, fill the water jugs, replace the batteries, take down the hanging baskets, cross your fingers.

With all the cold, miserable weather, not much has gotten done in the
garden! Now with a nor'easter coming our way, I have no plans of picking up 
all the debris that was deposited during the last icy, windy, soggy and
freezing days! After the storm passes, I'll probably have to do some
clean-up anyway. I hate the word "nor'easter" as that's when we get our
worst flooding and erosion. I've instructed my husband to bring the kayaks 
onto the deck by the house and tie down the catamarans that are on the
beach. I'm going to fill some containers with water, check the battery
situation, do ALL the laundry, run the dishwasher, etc. just in case we lose 
power or have to evacuate.  What fun!
