block number 81
from tula pink's
city sampler
100 modern quilt blocks.
11" of snow have fallen since yesterday afternoon.
the power went out at 1 in the morning.
we fired up the home comfort first thing and i hunkered in for the day.
batman went cautiously down the hill to work.
trees are down, wires are hanging.
we have lost a bunch of trees here,
including a birch in our side yard.
our amazing town road crew and the guys
from green mountain power
were busy on the hill all day.
chain saws.
plows running with chains on their wheels.
the neighbor's generator running down in the valley.
sounds of country living...

around 3 this afternoon our power came back on,
along with our phone and internet service.
the lights have flickered a few times,
but so far, so good.
this week's square was hand stitched because my
faithful bernina was quiet.
there's been a lot of white on white lately.
...and it's still just november...

I know your snowy winters cause problems, but gosh they look beautiful from down here.
ReplyDeleteVickie, no doubt, it is very, very beautiful.xo
DeleteThat Yankee rural spirit is pretty amazing. With two inches of snow I would have decided not to drive to work (mostly because there are so many people along that 50-mile trek who have no idea how to drive in snow) and there are folks hereabouts who lost their power in the November 15 ice storm who had to wait three days to get their power restored.
ReplyDeleteSadly, Paula, I think these "weather events" are going to become more and more common as the powers that be ignore the challenges of global climate change. :-(
