The Storm is Over!

I'm sure many of you to the north and west of us had it much worse than we did on the Outer Banks but yesterday was a lulu. We had a Nor'Easter but thankfully one of short duration. Driving rains, wind gusts over 50MPH and temperatures in the 40's left us yearning for spring. As my husband Frank and I were recalling last evening we said we were going to have to pay for three weeks in January this year with temperatures in the 60's and 70's and we sure are. Today is bright and sunny but temperatures are still in the 40's and the wind is brisk out of the west. The weather has not deterred the robins. The Yaupon tree outside our bedroom window was decorated with them this morning and they were a sweet alarm clock.
