The power finally came back on this morning, just 12 hours shy of a whole week without electricity. I can go a whole week without tv just fine, but candlelight isn't quite enough light for reading, or for sewing, or any other creative work I like to do. It's maddening! You can play dominoes, but not cards, not really. So I'm ecstatic to finally have POWER again! Not to mention that we were frickin' freezing.
Another view of the sad sycamore, taken from the front yard.
A side view of the sad sycamore. This shot really shows all of the broken branches--pretty much all of the large branches not curving upward are broken, including that big one halfway up on the right side. :-(
A cold kitty discovers the joys of an old-fashioned hot-water bottle.
How to survive a week without power: flashlights, bottled water, sheets tacked over the windows and doors, every blanket in the house piled on the couch for sleeping, and every candle in the house clustered in front of a mirror for light.
And finally, we get sunshine too. A morning of blessings!
