Winter in Kentucky, who would have thought...the pink flamingos ended up beside my garden pond as a joke (thanks to my dear husband) and never left. The ice storm last week left us covered with a 1/2" of ice which took down trees and power lines. After that came the snow. We were without electric for a week. Fortunately we cook with gas so we didn't go hungry and we have a wood stove for back up heat. The generator provided enough juice to log onto the Internet, and keep the fridge and freezer going so we didn't even lose any food.
Two of our Christmas presents came in surprisingly handy while the electric was out. We received two LLBean baseball hats each with two LED lights in the brims. We looked like the goober twins lying in bed at night trying to direct the beams of our hats at our books so we could read. The cats hated the lights because every time we looked at them they were nearly blinded! Stumbling to the bathroom in the middle of the night was easier with the hats as well, no pesky flashlights to hold! Temperaments became a bit raw after a few days without electricity and we began to try to aggravate each other by directing the beams in each others eyes as we talked to each other. It wasn't pretty and we were infinitely grateful when the electric came back on.
