Sanguine Tenacious Tidings

Electriciy is Important

Prompt: Write about a Happy Monday.

Today is a happy Monday. Some time Saturday, between 3 and 4 p.m. our electricity went away. There was a serious storm raging outside. It consisted of strong winds, rain, thunder and somewhere lightning. We did not get hit with lightning, just some thunder. The storm lasted into the night.

Our corn stoves run a fan which is necessary to the way they burn. Of course, that means no heat, no Wi-Fi, and mint was not on my phone. I still had my kindles, some of my games run without Wi-Fi. and time, lights and games on my phone were running because I have back up chargers that run on solar. Flashlights that run on solar and some battery driven lights in my bedroom were amply available.

The house never got too cold. Maybe into the 40's. It is pretty well insulated which creates dead airspace. As long as you can keep out the drafts you can stay warm enough.

The electricity came back on Sunday morning by 9 a.m. I think. It is interesting how quiet the house is when we lose power. It does not happen often.

This morning routines were back to normal. I can use the internet and do the laundry. Ho Hum.

March is almost gone.

Spring is sprung,

and life goes on.
