Hail, hail, the gang's all here.

This afternoon we moved Mom and Harry in with us until power is restored. I figure if I survive having my mom live here for as many as 4 or even more days, I deserve to be canonized.

Schools are now closed until next week. We are still good here and even handed out candy to trick or treaters.

The park near my house had at least two dozen trees lost to the storm. I went to check in on my favorite oak there, only to discover that she had been cut down. I don't know when and I feel like the friend who promises to visit but doesn't. I will miss all the trees who were lost in the storm but I will miss her the most.

The city is very slowly returning to normal. We are nothing if not resilient.

loss, weather, nature
