Two days without electricity. It is back on now though. I can manage without many electrically run luxuries. However, I don't like to be cold and I like to be able to cook. Also, there was no water as the water comes from a well and the well pump is run by electricity. I heated up some soup on my brother's woodstove and one night he cooked us a dinner on the woodstove top. How wonderfully nourishing it is to have someone cook a person a meal. I needed that. I was fairly warm with the gas fireplace. But it gets dark at 4:30. No reading, no video watching. Interesting isnt it that only about 100 years ago this was the norm?
The driveway is a sheet of ice.
Ice still coats many trees, although some melting happened yesterday.
Everything sparkled and glistened.

A winter fairy land. Below, the river roars.
