Batten Down the Hatches

 

Everything has been cancelled here this weekend because of the Nor'easter out in the Atlantic. It's brought us glorious weather all week but today might be difficult for those on the water as the storm moves closer. We are not in sand bag mode but the city was in a tizzy getting ready for the high tide that could be several feet higher than normal today. 

All week long the strong tides have brought the water up to almost under the swing set. The Mister and I both said that this would have been very tempting when we were kids. You can swing right out over the water and jump. 

The Farmer's Market might be canceled but we did get to see the dedication of a new statue in the koi/sculpture garden yesterday. It's a beautiful, glittery mosaic that's going to catch the sun as it comes over the bay in the morning. I had to laugh at this dude sitting on top of it. We left before the installation was complete so I'll be curious to see what all the fuss about the top of it was.
