What a rip roaring day it was yesterday! I got up early and started my chores for the day. I finished with zeal because I had plans to make my famous split pea soup and play Settlers of Catan with my family. The day started out like that but soon turned into something not so fun. At around noon the electricity went out...as expected with 40 mile an hour winds. We waited patiently as we always do for it to come back on and it did about 45 min later. I needed to run to the store but our cars were in the garage. Josh did not want to disengage the automatic opener because he knew the electricity would come on soon as it always does. So after it came on I ran down to the market to pick up some items for dinner and got home. Just as I was switching my laundry the electricity went out again. I figured that it would come back on just at it had done earlier. And it did.......TEN hours later. I felt like I was losing my mind without electricity. It was pathetic. I finally had to just give it up and realize that I was not going to get anything done and just relax. I mean in perspective there are people that live in third world countries that never have electricity. We are a spoiled generation. Homework did not get done, laundry did not get done, but we are healthy and happy with the lights on this morning.
Our poor little plum tree has seen better days. Luckily, unlike humans, plum trees still live after they are violently torn in half.
And finally the corn. Wish we could have saved it but it was a lost cause. All in all we came out of this storm virtually unscathed. No trees fell on our house, no flooding, a little power outage that made me less than sane but we are still healthy and happy.
