We had a very raw day yesterday , the wind was horrid , 51 mph wind gust. Yesterday afternoon around 4:30 pm we lost power , the power company gave a restoration time of 6:15 pm when I called in the power outage , but at 7:30 pm we got a call back and they said it would be 11:45 pm , so we lit the kerosene heater and closed off all the rooms except two. It was a nice quiet evening , hubby took a nap since there was no t.v. , I read the newspaper by the light of the oil lamp and decided to draw. We ate sandwiches and discussed goats , we may be getting a couple of female pygmy goats soon. I went to bed around midnight and Dh said he came to bed around 1:30am and the power was still off. But thankfully the power was on this morning when we awoke , so the house was nice and warm.

glad to hear you did not have to go long without power... yet sometimes for short periods it is a bit nice to slow down and enjoy the primitiveness of life...
ReplyDeleteGlad your power is back on.

ReplyDeleteHi Flassie ~ I didn't enter the contest for the Herbal Roots Zine archive , I have most of those issues. Just thought I would share the link for others who might want to enter.

Nice little pendant and it is always a treat to win something. Hope your power stays on. I hate wind storms!
ReplyDeleteJoyceann, glad you were warm and could just relax. The only lamp in my living room or in the house went out so we're using a candle lit lamp. It slows you down and makes it feel more quiet and peaceful doesn't it? Good luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteGlad th power wasn't out long! But it can be fun when it is! :0)
ReplyDeleteLove the pendant!
