Tobogganing Anyone?
Well, good morning. I would have been here sooner, but our power was out for almost 12 hours.
Yesterday there were weather warnings in effect, cautioning about strong winds and snow squalls. Not much happened, it snowed for a good part of the morning but didn't stick.
We took Little R for her interview with the 4H top dogs, in regards to her nomination, did a little shopping, and checked out a new-to-us greasy spoon for brunch. We were in Fergus, Elora, Guelph and Arthur. Came home for a bit, let the dog out etc. then headed out again in the other direction. Did some more shopping, got our Halloween pumpkins etc. As we were coming home for the night, it started. By 8:00 or so it was a bonafide snow storm. By 11 the satellite was breaking up and by midnight we had no satellite.
I had stayed up, playing euchre online, enjoying a blazing fire, with SoapNet playing the weeks episodes of "The Young And The Restless" on in the background.
I was waiting to watch "Ugly Betty", coming on SoapNet at 12, because, I admit, I've been watching it from the beginning and missed this weeks episode, the Halloween episode.
The power started flickering, then it went off, on, off, on, for quite a while, and finally just never came back on. Every once in a while it would do the on-off thing several times. It finally came back on at 11:20 this morning.
I took a few pictures, from when I got up and throughout the morning.
So, yeah, the house was just starting to get a little chilly when the furnace kicked on.
I have a feeling it's going to be a very quiet Halloween around here. It's supposed to rain. The number of trick-or-treaters we get is limited to begin with, bad weather AND being on a school night should just about kill it.
I'm off to help the family carve pumpkins.
Have a pleasant Sunday!
