Monday Evening





We have had rain, sleet and freezing rain off and on all day and, yes, we did lose power. We have had no electricity for most of the day but are so thankful service was restored about an hour ago. Our house is getting warm again. Nothing much gets done when we have no electricity. We don't realize how dependent we are on it until we do not have it. We have propane heat but our furnace will not come on if we have no electricity. Neither do we have water as our pump needs electricity. As long as we have daylight, I can read but not after dark. We need a nice kerosene lamp. We never think of things like that and having a supply of batteries until it is not possible to get out and buy them.

Our poor tree limbs are bending low with ice. We have already lost some limbs and no doubt will lose more as we are promised more rain during the night. We do hope our power stays on. At least we are warm at the moment.

Love to all,

Dortha
