Heard the most disturbing thing this weekend.
My brothers and I were on the way to the laundromat yesterday morning, as we do every Sunday. We were idly chatting the whole of the way.
Can’t even remember what brought it up now, but Matthew mentioned that Mom had overheard from some of her co-workers that we are in for a major blizzard.
By Halloween.
Egad.
‘Tis the season to look ahead to winter, yes, but Halloween isn’t THAT far ahead. According to Matthew, folks have already been warned to stock up on supplies within the next two weeks, and both he and Amy are planning on getting their cars winterized by the end of the month. And then this morning, the dry-cleaning courier for the office mentioned the blizzard. He said he wouldn’t be surprised if it happened, and that we’re in for a rough winter, anyway.
I’ve said we’re overdue for a May blizzard, not an October one!
Craziness.
That makes for a countdown. And it’s four weeks from today.
I’ll keep you posted.
