Randomly, on Friday

Wednesday night into Thursday morning, we had 2 inches of snow.  This was enough to topple transmission lines, and we were without power for 17 hours.  Not so bad, we have a fabulous woodstove that keeps the house warm.  The downside, once the sun goes down (4:30), it's dark.  Candles are very helpful, but not helpful enough if you want to knit or read.  Hoping to crank along on Christmas knitting while watching Gosford Park this evening.  I think I may be able to squeeze in another project (or two) before the gift-giving begins.  Delusional? probably.  Will I try anyway - YES!  I give New Year's gifts as well.
