looks like rain.

aside from some mild flooding, fallen trees (or branches, see back left in photo), and some garbage strewn about,
you wouldn't even know there had been hurricane warnings just the day before!

everyone around these parts wanted to stay indoors.
not us!

armed with an umbrella,
we made it outside to visit some thrift stores (how amazing is the buffalo exchange?!) and have a bite at 2amy's.

it was super cold and wet,
but there were hardly any crowds anywhere!
it was like having the city to ourselves.

plus, i've got my love to keep me warm, you know?

currently trying to decide on what to do for halloween since we are unexpectedly here!
i know our awesome costumes at home will miss us.

happy wednesday!

xo.

hurricane sandy.

hello, from maryland!

we are staying dry and warm during the storm.

we got a little claustrophobic and bored
so we decided that having an impromptu floor picnic
with champagne ginger ale and freshly cut roses
was just about the best thing a pair o' pals can do indoors during a storm.

when i ran outside to snip them off the bush in front of adam's mama's house
it took maybe 30 seconds
and i was drenched!

it's a strange feeling, waiting for a big storm...
looking outside the windows and watching the wind and rain slowly but surely pick up,
anticipating a power outage,
stocking up on water and food knowing that you won't be able to leave the house for at least a day or two...

with our flights rescheduled now at the end of the week,
and this storm positively spooking everyone here,
we definitely aren't going anywhere any time soon.

in our attempts to fight the oncoming feelings of stir craziness,
we are going to be enjoying a lot of long talks,
tickle fights,
and, yes,
floor picnics.

hopefully it goes away! crossing our fingers.

stay safe, my friends.

xo.
