Winter

Have I mentioned that I am ready for spring?

I’m so glad last week is behind us, and we are on to a new week.

Sickness, jury duty, rain, snow & ice almost made it unbearable.

Friday, the power went out, and it quickly became unbearable.

And cold.

The power went out Friday around 3:30, and finally came back on last night around 6ish.

Very rarely do we lose power, so the first night it was kind of an adventure. Lighting candles, using flashlights and wrapping up in blankets.

Saturday morning, when we woke up to no power, not-so-much fun anymore.

Yesterday, we emptied the freezers and fridge, it was awful having to throw away all that food. Thankfully, were were able to save some ground beef, and other meats that were in the garage freezer. Everything else though, gone.

They’re calling for more bad weather to make its way here maybe on Tuesday. I really, really, hope not.

We’ll try to be a little bit more prepared this time.

Very rarely do we see winters like this around our parts. Mostly, we get just a dusting, or an inch or two here and there, not one snow/ice storm after another.

Every year the girls pray for snow. Yesterday, I told them not to pray for it anymore. lol
