AS DARKNESS FALLS~

As darkness falls...the wind's powerful force has intensified as the rain pelts against the windowpane...
 Sandy has found us here in New England... lights have begun to flicker...a signal that it's only a matter of time before the electricity is lost...we here at Dog Trot Farm remain safe and dry...
 the chickens are tucked safely in their coop... a large fat pumpkin provides entertainment as well as being a nutritious snack...my snack...not so nutritious... Sadie Mae is asleep in her favorite chair and Winslow Homer remains nervously by my side...
 Over my shoulder I noticed Mr. Jack watching me as I put a pumpkin pie in the oven...
 while a beef stew warmed on the wood stove...cornbread too...
For those of you who are in Sandy's way please stay safe...
