Electricity back on!

Our electricity is back on after going off about 2:30 this afternoon. With all the heavy, wet snow and the blowing winds, some of the power lines were knocked down. Thankfully we have a generator that we can use when needed!

This year, Dad going back and forth from the house to the shed where the generator is located to switch it on and off has become way too frequent. In fact Dad just emptied the last of the gas from the tank that runs to the generator this week, thinking that he wouldn't need to have gas in it until next winter. We weren't expecting one last blast of winter in April!

But this year has been unusual. Normally we don't have this much snow in the winter, let alone in April. And the power has been off this year more than it has in the past five years!
