Wind storm.

Wow. Huge wind storm in the area. We lost a barn door, and half a tree (which was already dead). Thankfully, nothing else. We had no hydro for over 14 hours, which for us country folk also meant- no water. No washing dishes, no flushing toilets, playing Monopoly by candle-light, hunting down each flashlight in the house, etc. Quite the adventure! Although the toilets were getting pretty nasty, and Eric pulled water up out of the cistern with a bucket so that we could fill the tanks- and flush!

It did cause me to ponder...about those that never have running water- or power.

We are so blessed....and really-spoiled.
