On Thursday afternoon we could see it coming--the projected rain and cold front due to hit around 4 am Friday morning.
John was busy with preventive measure--heaters in green house and basement, water stored in jugs, extra hay and sweet feed for cattle, the list goes on and on.
As of Friday morning, we still had water and power, though Justin and Claui's water had frozen. At midday the temperature was around 9 degrees F and it's going to be colder. UPDATE: As of this morning (Saturday), it's 1 degree F. But our water is still running. And we have power.Reluctantly, we advised Ethan and Aileen of the situation and suggested they postpone traveling to NC till later. If we lose power and/or water, it wouldn't be comfortable for them. So we'll have a second celebration with them later.Meanwhile, my thoughts are with the people of Ukraine, facing the winter as Putin attempts to destroy their infrastructure. How can anyone support this evil man? The reprehensible GOP congress members who refuse to support Ukraine are, instead, choosing Putin. I simply don't understand.
