Here in New York you never get bored with the weather, one day it is sunshine and the next it is snowing. I love the diversity of the seasons that we have here. In the winter we have snow, ice and cold. The storm that we had this weekend had snow, ice, freezing rain, rain,freezing fog and just plain cold. The weight of the snow and ice on the trees weighed them down so that many branches broke under the weight. There were power outages everywhere....even here. We were without electric, which means no lights,heat, and water because the pipes froze also for the whole night. You can imagine how cold it got inside our little castle, it got down to about 30 degrees. Kinda cold if you ask me, and is okay if you are outside, but not for the inside. To complicate things even more it was the night that we were susposed to turn the clocks ahead one hour for daylight savings time. Well needless to say the clocks didn't get turned ahead until this morning, not that anyone really slept as it was just too cold. My knight got up about 3am and started the space heater, which had enough fuel in it for an hour, but he was concerned that our birds would die. He then got up this morning and went to get some more kerosene and also brought me home a cup of coffee and breakfast.....as close to breakfast in bed as I will ever get[ I was already up and all dressed and ready for church as we teach a children's classby the time he got back.] The electric came back on just before he got back from the store. The house is now warm and we have lights. We are thankful for God's protection over us, it could have been worse. As for my work, I worked Saturday . I didn't know it when I went into work yesterday morning that I was going to be there from 8am until 9:30 pm, with one two hour break. It was truly a long day to come home to no electric and no heat after working all day.
