Beware the West Wind
My friend Marcia McClure was living in Buffalo during the Blizzard of 1977, and remembers the sound of the wind howling off Lake Erie for days. That was what got to her. Not the 30-foot snowdrifts that trapped everyone indoors. Not the bitter cold. Not the groceries running low, or the fear that the power […]
Pretty but menacing
December 13, 2008
These are the icicles hanging from my eaves. Some of them, anyway. Aren’t they pretty? The only problem is that up above them there is a big pile of snow. In the forecast: warming temperatures, more snow, and eventually, rain. This is a prescription for disaster unless I get up there and get some of […]
Special holiday shopping
December 10, 2008
Relieve some of the stress of the season. Buy the perfect present, one that’s needed and wanted and doesn’t even have to be wrapped!

She writes, What a difference a month makes. On November 9 I sent the orchard with golden leaves. On December 7 it is a different story. Compare this snowy […]
After the storm
December 7, 2008
We had quite a little blow last night. As predicted, ice mountains are beginning to grow along the shore. The wind scoured a lot of snow off the beach and flung it up on the bluff—and then scoured the sand off and flung it on top of the snow. Very decorative. Looks like someone’s been […]
A walk on the beach: Catching some (g)rays
December 6, 2008
There’s a certain beauty to shades of gray, silver and pale straw. A minimalist palette, if you will. Restful. Sort of like an Ingmar Bergman film . . . Good thing I have dogs. A person could slide right into gloom on a day like this, but dogs don’t know from gloom. To them it’s all about a nice […]
