Of storms and such

Category: gardening among the rocks | Posted: Tue Nov 14, 2006 7:26 pm

My power is on for now. It's been out since Sunday night, and several circumstances made it more difficult than usual. With the windstorm, my 14-year-old lilac bush out front split and is reduced to one scraggly bit. All the evergreens are pruned, and after I get outside (when the frost is gone) the goats will have a pre-thanksgiving feast on it all. This morning, I took pity on my teenage son and drove him to the Bible camp where he works on weekends- they have showers there. I picked up muffins for he and DD, she & I snuck into the game room and had a quiet breakfast while we waited for him. It was nice to get out, and I'm mighty grateful for that camp!
Now I've gotta get back to housecleaning, there is another severe storm predicted for tonight and I'd like to start with a clean slate if we lose power again!

Hang in there. You have had some nasty weather. Hope it clears up and you keep power. Cold showers or no showers are awful.

Thanks, the thing I love about evenings by firelight, there's only one really warm room so we all get together and play games. I'm SO glad I have a son who actually LIKES his parents, lol!
