The Snow Just Keeps A Comin

We've had more power outages this year than any winter since we moved here. We have a wood stove to keep us warm and a gas range to cook on. But no power means no blog. Which really stinks since I constantly find myself writing passages in my head. We're still out of power at the house, but I'm using my lunch break at work to let you know that I'm still here. We got three feet of snow in less than 24 hours yesterday. The photo is of the house at 5:00 Friday morning, taken with my point-and-shoot Pentax that I always have in my purse. My Charles and I shoveled and shoveled, but the snow kept filling in our work. After a while, we realized that we weren't going to make it to BriarPatch, so we went back down the steps and put more logs on the fire.

It was our first snow day since we purchased the house. We've always been able to get out before, even if it meant that we were a bit late, but yesterday, the snow prevailed. I have lots of photos that I took over the course of the day that I'll share as soon as the power's restored. Until then, I'll keep writing passages in my head and warming up soup for my Charles and I to eat. (If this outage lasts too long, we sure will be sick of soup.)
