We arrived home from the museum on Saturday night to find we were without electricity and had been since Friday night. The snow total was about 16 inches. We have great neighbors who came down and plowed our drive way out. They said that because the snow plows had been working on Henpeck Road, they didn't think we could have gotten into our driveway. Well, the electricity was off until yesterday around 10:30 am. There was an electric line down across our pond. The electric crew had to bring ladder trucks to get up to the top of the pole and string the line back up. It was very cold yesterday morning also!
The house was cold until we got the wood stove going. We have a gas cook stove so making meals was no problem. We had water as well so we were all set. We had kerosene lanterns, candles, and battery operated lights so we could even read. Of course, Buddy practiced his music.
Buddy is fighting a cold. We are staying home today instead of going to the museum. He is going to rest today to see if he can get over this cold. We just found out that the museum was closed today. They must be getting lots of snow down there. We took lots of photos of the snow. It has started snowing again and we may get up to 5 inches before this storm moves on.
Buddy did go out yesterday and got some snow and made snow ice cream. Of course he got the fresh white snow! A lot of people have not idea how good snow ice cream is. Buddy says that it tastes just like home made ice cream and it is so easy to make!
We are going to work on a script for a children's program pilot episode today. It will be on dinosaurs. We would love to be able to make at least 12 or 13 one-half hour children's programs. We need to get the pilot done so that we can get someone to invest in this project.
Hope everyone is enjoying the snow. Be careful if you have to drive in it. Spring is right around the corner......
Wow! We haven't had that much snow here. I miss you Buddy and Kay.
