This picture sums up our day. We were in the middle of the blizzard that swept across Wisconsin. It rained last night before the snow, so all our trees are covered with ice. I'm thankful our trees faired fairly well. We lost power last night at 11:00 -- a nearby transformer blew and that was scary! There were huge flashes of bright blue light that lit up the night. We woke up a bit chilly but the power came back around 9:00. Some communites are still without power tonight. All the neighbor kids and men were out in force this morning playing in the snow. I loved seeing everyone rallying together to help out with the snowblowing. I had a house full of neighborhood boys playing with Legos, watching the movie Elf and eating mac & cheese for lunch. I kept my clothes dryer busy getting their snow gear dry for their afternoon adventure. Ryan grilled steaks for dinner and it felt so wonderful to be safe, warm and together.
Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!
Love, Joy
Love the picture, Joy and the captions. Cool! We are in a Winter Wonderland too. It makes it seem more Christmasy. Love, Debbie

ReplyDeleteWhat an unforgetable adventure. I am glad that the bad situation of the storm and the power loss turned out to be a happy community adventure. Your picture really captures the fun. I love how you did the captions, Joy. I bet Ryan was glad he was prepared with the new snowblower.
