5 hour power outage!

I woke up this morning to the sound of my family talking about the electricity being off.  Sure enough, the house was cool (it got down to about 60F degrees, which felt cold).  Thankfully, after the chores were finished (except for giving water to the animals, as there wasn't any with the power being out), and the electricity was still off, the guys got a generator set up with a couple cords running in the house so we could run our electric heaters.  They fired up the wood stove in the shop and put our kettle of potato soup on top to warm for lunch.  :)   Shortly after they had everything rigged up, (about 11:30)  the power returned!  YAY!!!  We were once again reminded of what a blessing heat, light and running water is, especially when it's -20--something on the other side of the walls!

It is very windy tonight and, according to the weathermen, it is a good thing, as a warmer front is blowing in.  Hooray!
