Stormy Weather
A night and a day without power followed by another night and a morning without phone or Internet; typical winter day in the Creek. :D We were fortunate to have our power back last night - a tree went down on the line next door so everyone above us had another night out - and we were even more fortunate to have offers of a place to sleep or a bit of extra wood should our power not have come back on (which would've meant a night without heat since we burned the last bits of wood we could scrounge the night before from what we already had cut. Dude's schedule this summer and fall didn't allow for putting much up and a student's income doesn't buy a lot :D). Spent yesterday clearin' out another couple feet of snow (maybe this'll be the last really wet weather system for the winter :D; we shall see) and today gettin' the wood situation taken care of, made easier by the fact that a tree up our hill fell yesterday so it wasn't buried, made a bit more difficult by that fact that it wasn't dead or hadn't been long when it fell, so heavy heavy heavy wet rounds. But we're feelin' like we got a good workout, the wood's burnin' well (love that snap, crackle, pop), the house is warmin' up, we got to know our neighbors a little better (a pleasure, I might add), and I think everyone's power is back on. Missed y'all, but life is good. :)
