Icy again

More freezing rain came our way over the weekend. We were left without electricity for 10 hours: no lights, no cook stove, no furnace (thank goodness we have a wood stove). We awoke Sunday morning to a glittering world:




Since I couldn't cook, we ended up driving into town for a pizza dinner on Saturday night. This wasn't so bad as the roads were fairly clear, I got to eat my favorite: eggplant pizza, and there were no dinner dishes to clean. We read bedtime stories by lantern light and went to sleep pretty early. Actually, a break from computers, movies and phones was a nice change, but I am certainly glad to have the conveniences of modern life back.
