The unseasonably warm weather is leaving us, and a cold front is coming in announcing itself with high winds and much rain. I watch the dance of the large fir in my backyard.
It’s a little scary. That tree could be as old as I am — I just hope it’s sturdier than I am.

Lights have been flickering and something is beeping at me. Actually two things are beeping at me with tiny beeps. I think one of them is my smoke/CO detector. The other one seems to be my phone, which is connected to a surge protector. I suppose I should investigate all of this, but I think I’ll wait until the storm is over.
