As we prepare here in Nova Scotia for the arrival of Hurricane Fiona, many of us are reminiscing about the time Hurricane Juan hit the province back in September 2003. It is almost impossible to imagine that was nearly twenty years ago. Reports are coming out that Fiona could be worse than Juan. In my small corner of the province, we faired well during that storm but Halifax did not. At this point, we can only hope the damage from Fiona will be minimal. She has a nasty side to her.

I have storm chips, storm chocolate, a good storm book, and my laptop is charged so that I can work on the short story I began awhile back.

Now is the time to wait.

Will see you on the other side of the storm. Take care and stay safe.
