The Day After

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those who have been harmed by Hurricane Sandy. Thousands of people without power, homes destroyed, dreams crushed...
Today our birds seemed hungrier than ever and I spotted a cautious newcomer amongst the windblown wisteria and our winter lights: a red bellied woodpecker.


Our house footings are more secure today after the crew had worked hard in inclement weather. New beginnings....

The storm brought 50 mile and hour winds, rain and days of worry as the east coast of America tried to prepare for the unknown. 

Now, Sandy has made landfall, the devastation is immense, the loss unfathomable. 

We continue to build, recognizing the immense privilege and profound gift of shelter, of community, of home...

Here is the gift of the men creating the foundations upon which our house will stand...they worked as the winds increased speed, as the temperatures dropped...
We are grateful...
