Still Powerless

Day 12....
Here are a few more pictures--taken after the first storm moved through and before the second and worst one came the next day. Sometime I hope to share some of my impressions, thoughts and experiences of this unique (and exhausting) time. I kept a daily notebook to jot things down as they impressed me.

In the meantime things are going okay. Very tired, often incoherent, but hanging in there. :-) I have a very sick sheep (one of my old Dorset girls) and I'm not sure she is going to make it. This is always hard.

Everyone else is doing okay--the sheepie girls were happy to go and sample all the newly fallen limbs in the upper pasture, once the fences were checked to make sure it was still secure. I think the cats and dogs wonder why I keep things so dark anymore, but as long as they can curl up by the fire they don't seem to think its a problem. Not having water dripping out of the sink has been a big adjustment for the two house cats. They just cannot understand why I'm being such a meanie and not turning the water on! ;-)

I can finally see lights on the far ridge to the south, so I have hope we will soon be on too!
