Island Breeze

Remembrance Day dawned last Friday, clear and sunny. It was such a beautiful morning, I couldn't resist taking a photo of the maple tree beside our deck.

In the early afternoon, a quick storm blew through. Out of nowhere, winds gusted so hard that at one point, Jeff and I looked out our living room window to see a two story high whirling vortex of leaves fill our street, just like a blizzard. The storm passed in less than 40 minutes and the sun returned, but our maple tree looked pretty different.

I have been holding out, still wearing sandals (with bare feet) most of the time. I think this means I need to break out my socks (not worn since last March) and close-toed shoes. Ugh.
