Good for you, gnu.
You were gnashing your teeth a few weeks ago when the warm weather kicked in too soon for your liking.
But hopefully your esteemed mother has ceased to live in dread, for the moment, of winter storms.

The wind is kicking up here in eastern Massachusetts as well, there is no shortage of rain, and everything here is green enough to blind you. That will change when the heat arrives and the green grass turns yellowish brown on the lawns, as ever.
