[Ellen Taylor]

“Deck the Halls” says “ heedless of the wind and weather” but this weather  report is too scary.  Branches will be flying about in the dark,  our narrow road could get squishy, the river  covered  Lighthouse Road deeply 2 days ago and could again and it will  be dark.

So people  who were going to come up tonight to sing we have to cancel.  Too dangerous. So sorry. Maybe see you on the beach on Thursday…
