It is a good thing that my hubby was on the ball yesterday and went town for the second time, because the weather was going to do it's thing.....we are in a very rural farmland area in PA and when a front comes our way we usually get the worst of it.......
We loose power and with that we have to have another source of power...wood or what we use kerosene heaters....we did the wood thing when we first moved out here 19 years ago...but it is messy and you have to keep the stove going...and in general a big pain....not to mention, with my allergies, it seemed to add to it all....I am a pure city girl....allergies are a by product of country living....anyway...we always have oil lamps and battery lights , a little propane stove for cooking...of course we have a selection of soups and other simple fair , because the stove is small for camping...and since we are on a well and septic...we have to fill buckets for flushing since the well pump needs electricity...no power no water......a little too country for my tastes...
the snow is piling up ,already 13 inches and still going strong...this is our third storm, and all will be find, as long as it doesn't sleet and turn all to ice...the wet snow is the worst, but so far it is a dry poofy snow.....the pictures are out the back door...I like the snow on top of the trash cans they look like ice cream cones....
I have been running around for the last week trying to get all the Christmas stuff that needed to be mailed packed and all went out yesterday...I did this because I figured that today , the Saturday before Christmas was going to be a mad house....I was so pleased with myself this morning when the storm really started to cook...it has been snowing all day with no signs of stopping or letting up....but thanks to the main dude...we are very cozy and organized here in Squiggeeland.....the snow is cute because it is very seasonal with Christmas almost here, but OK
it can stop anytime now........lol...
