All of my thoughts and prayers are going towards the East Coast of America today as they brace for the arrival of Hurricane Sandy. Yes, to my beloved New York City but to all of you that I may not know of that are in harm’s way I am sending you this virtual bouquet and asking that you please be extra careful as nature is demanding the respect that we haven’t been giving.
So stock up on the candles, water, bring out the thick blankets and shore up the windows…
…prepare your big boots…
…once everything is ready, perhaps pour yourself a glass of wine…
…believe that all will be well and try to keep the light shining in your heart…
…trust when it is time to take matters in to your own hands…
…but also when it is wisest to stay right where you are and wait it out…
Please Be Safe.
With lots of Love from Arles…
Oh Jane, I hear you! I think that if I had been there I would have been a MESS, I have been so worried for you all! I think especially after 9/11, any emergency must bring up bad feelings. And Ben…well, he is a sensitive soul and unfortunately probably would have peed on your bed too! :à Keep Calm and Carry On…

One of my little dogs did not like the whole business, and both threw up and peed the bed (our bed!) during the height of the storm. I felt like doing both myself!!
Ally, are you sure? True, I know our NYC is already up and open as it can be but please take extra taxi money–at least!
And thank you for the compliment–coming from you? Sheweeeee!
Gros bisous,
H
I love these peeks into your lovely home! I'm headed to New York this weekend – fingers crossed! xo
oh I loved your kind thoughts and photographs as always. That pup wins my heart today!

Heather, this was a beautiful post. Listened to this as I read it.
Be happy and be well.
You are so very welcome Nancy!! Very happy to hear that you are yours are doing well…
What a beautiful, reassuring post. A nice "warm & fuzzy" after last night's scary adventures here on the East Coast. We are well and have passed through the storm. Our many thanks for your kind thoughts
I feel the same Ann, it has been making me so upset but I realize that is nothing compared to what it must be like for those that are there and in the rest of the hit areas…
Please be safe in your travels as always. Getting home will be all the sweeter…
