Huddle Together

The wind is blowing as a hurricane without the rain and thunder stuff!
Has been bending trees, rattling the seed pods and roaring until you can't hear!

Our metal doors are wired back but occasionally a strong blast comes along and rips the door loose and the explosion causes ones heart to skip a beat or two. Fun to watch the dogs jump straight in the air and run for cover. Goats must be deaf.

The children are all of course in t-shirts only (naked and exposed from belly button down) and hunker down to keep warm. I have some sweat shirts for little ones but there are more timoun than sweat shirts and I don't know how to handle that. So far I just give one to any kid that happens to be freezing and alone. They play then pull their t-shirt down to their toes and make themselves as small as possible and huddle together.
Adults are wearing multiple layers and
stoking caps with long pants many
with legs turned up 6 to 8 inches.
Who cares? It's freti!!
Went to take my bucket bath, with all
the little critters wiggling in the
water. Wind in the window is a bit
refreshing.


Not sure how long the wind will blow and neither is anyone else. Some boats go fast across the bay!

Photos don't do justice to the way the palms look twisting and flapping. At least cooking is now in doors or between buildings...to keep the fire going. This, I'm told is just another bit of Haiti to be endured. I wish I had a few more sweatshirts. All the kids could be in blue!
