HURRICANE BREAK

Hurricane Sandy Seen from Minnesota                                                              (Sue Anderson via The Improvised Life)   

We need to take a break this week due to the storm. So we leave you with this amazing picture of Sandy seen from afar, with the evening star watching over. This comes from one of our favorite blogs, The Improvised Life. Here's an extract, by the photographer, Sue Anderson:

We can’t feel Sandy, but we can see her. From the deck of our home in southeast Minnesota shortly before dawn this morning we could see low on the eastern horizon the sharp line of clouds that is the westernmost edge of the weather system called Sandy, with Venus hanging high above. I snapped this photo and then turned around and snapped another of the nearly full moon that seems to continue to beacon the storm further and further inland. Meanwhile, we are caught in the middle with clear blue skies and light winds predicted for the rest of the day.
