When Darkness Falls

Well, it was an interesting day here in my little cabin in the woods. Someone hit a pole and the whole area lost their power. I'll tell you how small the area is . . . one pole went down and around 7 communities were left in the dark and even then I would say less than 1000 people were affected!!

It was out for six hours and that was fun at our house. I had just put supper to slow roast in the oven for the family and was looking up something low-fat vegetarian to make for myself when the house went dead silent. It was okay during the day (other than we had no water), the kids played and I cleaned. After I was done cleaning, I sat reading a novel. But then it started to get cold, and it got dark, the kids got freaked out, and we had to be creative. We sorted it out and when it came on Princess Belle was disappointed that her fun was over. But I have to say being without power, heat, and water was just no fun for me.
