Happy to be Stranded

Here's today's weather on Nantucket:

Rain and Wind from NNE at 33mph gusting to 43mph.

When I heard that this morning, I looked at Maggie, the children's librarian. "Yeah," she said slowly. "We're going to have to talk about that. . . they're already starting to cancel ferries."

Believe me, if you have to be stranded, you couldn't pick a prettier place or nicer people.  I couldn't even use an umbrella today because the wind was so strong that it would've turned it inside out. When I mentioned that to Laura, the elementary school librarian, she laughed. "Oh when we see people with umbrellas, we know they're not from here!"

Sure enough, my boat was cancelled. So after visiting my three schools, I went shopping today instead of catching the boat!

I have lots of photos of my days on Nantucket, but I'm going out to supper with Maggie and her daughter soon, so here's just a quick few:


Yikes!  This is the RAIN part of the forecast!
