Then the weather did something naughty...it didn't do what the forecasters "predicted" it would! The warm up didn't come, but the freezing rain did.
In summery: the trees turned into giant icicles. The roads turned into a skating rink. The power lines turned into a joke! For two nights we had a slumber party on the living room floor (which the kids loved) because a tree was leaning towards the bedrooms, with candles lit (which the kids loved) because we didn't have power.
ICE WAS EVERYWHERE!
But we stayed warm and cozy with our wood stove, clean with our gas powered hot water heater, and fed with our gas oven and stove top! (I'm so thankful to the previous owners who made all these decisions for us!)
The ice is still outside. Friends still don't have power, five days later. And everyone seems a bit frazzled. But...
...we all fared better than our lilac tree!
