It has been quite a day. Freezing rain, on and off all day, at times pretty heavy. We noticed that the huge white pine's branches were hanging low with the weight of the ice. Inevitably a large branch snapped off and is laying across an out building,
I spent the day wrapping for the last Christmas celebration tomorrow. I packed away the extra wrapping paper, boxes, gift bags and tissue paper for next year. I sat down and polished the silver.
The power did not go off during the day. The soup was good and filling. Poor Tim was bored out of his mind.
The long day has finally ended. This is when the power began flickering. I got out my collection of jarred candles out and lit them to be prepared. The power hasn't blinked since.
I missed it yesterday but I wanted to wish you and Tim a Merry Christmas! I'm glad the storm hasn't been too bad for you. Ham and bean soup sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteFreezing rain is without a doubt one of the worst things that winter brings. Here's hoping it moves on out of your area soon.
ReplyDeleteOh boy. I hate ice storms. I hope you do not have anything more than a few broken tree limbs. The soup and candles sound pretty cozy, but your Tim is like my Larry, a caged lion when he has to stay inside!
ReplyDeleteIce storms are treacherous. Beautiful in the sun, deadly dangerous. I'm glad you're home and warm.
ReplyDeleteOf course the power didn't go off, as you were prepared for it. It will be when you aren't prepared that you will lose power.
