…but there was ice, and it was mainly in the trees, and then the trees, they fell down. And they are still falling, but our power is back on and our internet is back up!
Before my batteries died, I took these few pictures.
We were blessed in that we didn't have a tree fall on the house.
We had part of a tree clip the gutter and miss the bunny cage
…and we lost power for about 36 hours, in which we were worried, for sure, but also warm and toasty (as long as we didn't stray from the kitchen!) and delighted with a chance to test the merits of our new wood-burning stove and our cosiness skills. I want you to note the all-fired amazing practicality of those enamel pans, which fit perfectly in there and kept us in hot water.

I must say, I am most impressed, most impressed indeed! That there is one of the reasons The Viking desperately wants to get our wood stove installed like yesterday! Of course, we've lost power only once in the ten years we've been here (nothing spectacular ever happens weather-wise around her, but still it would be nice to know we can still keep warm if the power goes out.So glad everyone is okay and no major damage was sustained!

My, you really got the ice! Sorry you lost trees to it but glad no one was hurt and you all could keep warm.
