It has been a busy Monday. Many errands were accomplished. The last minute grocery items have been acquired. That required trips to both grocery stores in town and a bakery. At a postal kiosk, I dropped off the final parcel to mail and got the cards into the system, too. A pickup was just being made to take things to the central post office for sorting -- so -- good timing. <smile>
The wind was strong when I left home. It strengthened throughout my travels and into the evening. We expect continued major gusts with some rain. Precipitation will begin into the late evening and overnight and continue for two days or so. We expect 50-75 mm (2-3 inches) over the next 24 to 36 hours. This is the fourth Monday storm in the past five weeks. On this street, our garbage, recycling and compost go out Monday night for early morning pickup on Tuesday. Needless to say with the winds, I won't be putting the waste out tonight for fear of it hefting and carrying the bags and compost bin to parts unknown. So, one more time that things will remain in the garage until the Monday storms hold out for a week or two. In the past storms have arrived on the same weekday during the winter season. The unrelenting regularity of such events becomes grating. I hope that this will not continue, but then I have little control over that one <grin>.
I chose a softer sounding song for tonight to counteract the tempest sounds of wind and rain outside the window. The lyrics provide something to ponder and to practice. Keep well. Enjoy!
The Secret of Christmas -- Ella Fitzgerald
