Aside from the weather, most things are pretty normal around
here. The area finally got some
much-needed rain but the chill and fog put a gauzy blanket on the view. So
chilly a salamander was snuggling into the pond filter. So chilly that the asparagus
is coming up slowly --- better late than never?? On the other hand some plants thrive in the
chill, like this Japanese Barberry in full blossom.
But this post is hours late today because our area had a
pre-announced power outage this morning, from 6 to 11 am on a Sunday. (I guess many people wouldn’t notice because
they don’t get out of bed ‘til noon??) Boiling water on a hiking burner --- no
biggie. But then an internet disruption occurred due to storms and the power outage! So “Powerless to do anything about it” was a good theme for the week. In
Toronto, the iconic restaurant ship “Captain John” was towed out powerless by
tugs after 40 years in the harbour. Drivers were powerless to get around the
road repairs by our house. The Dodge Dakota lost power because of engine overheating.
And in Owen Sound, this unlucky house got overpowered by a landslide. Care to
make an offer on a fixer-upper?
Hey --- the fridge just came back on! We’re as happy as a
little frog in a big pond. But maybe we should consider solar??
