IRENE

Yikes! We're in Martha's Vineyard for a week of relaxing and could see the edge of Irene coming from the south while we were on the ferry from Boston yesterday. It started raining pretty hard and today it's not raining yet but it's very windy and the power is clicking on and off.

Shouldn't get too exciting though because Irene has already been downgraded from a hurricane to a tropical storm and is moving far enough west to where we'll just get the edge. There's a photo on my Facebook page if you want to check it out!

After today we should be able to head to the beach Monday so we've stocked up on "provisions" for the storm (not to be confused with Chardonnay, which you're allowed to call a provision when you're in Martha's Vineyard during a hurricane). If we get any really cool weather, I'll post a picture!
