The interlude lasted longer than expected for a couple reasons, the foremost being a huge dump of snow that knocked out electricity to this valley--but only in one small area that included me.
We had 8 to ten inches of snow Friday, then 16 inches Saturday. I think. I am getting the days mixed up.I have never seen this much snow so early in the winter. Seven feet? Eight feet? Who knows anymore. There are giant piles in my yards and I think I'll open a ski resort.
Anyway, no electricity all Christmas Eve day and no electricity Christmas Day until about 8 PM. In addition, the temperature started going down today and it's already minus 6 F., but at least the things that keep other things from freezing are working now.
That's a big WHEW!
Now it's time to recover and get back to the Brazil Journals. Haven't been able to work on them because there's no computer, no Internet, no nothing when there's no power.
I don't feel very Christmasy right now but I hope yours was wonderful and a darned sight more relaxing than mine.
