It’s still quiet in this house and neighborhood. I’m rather liking the new hush and stillness that a weeks’ worth of no electricity has brought us.
We’re finding we will have to replace our cold and frozen food stores. Not sure if the frozen blocks of meat and ice will “survive” the 138.5 hours outage. Overall, we weathered the week pretty well and suffered no damage to our house. We have our health, our home, and plenty of hot water for baths and showers during the outage so I count ourselves among the fortunate.
And now, I’m going to shut this laptop down and head out for a long bike ride.
For your entertainment: A video of how we spent the majority of the electricity free week, and a post-birthday video of Reese’s time-trial laps around the house (and her new fascination with balloons).
