Toto, I Don't Think We're in NH Anymore!
Well, it's been quite a time up here in NH. Perhaps you heard on the news we had a BIG storm up here Thursday. Luckily I did not get the snow where I am but boy did it rain. And then the wind started-I thought I was Dorothy in Kansas. My favorite Vera Bradley umbrella is toast, boo hoo-turned inside out several times! They say when a tornado arrives it sounds like a freight train and that is exactly what this wind sounded like during the night---and then it got louder. It was really scary. So we've been without power but it's finally back and we did not lose any of our trees. We had a bunch of trees taken down last fall thank goodness otherwise they would have been on top of the house. We were warm with our wood stove and we had lights from some of the oil lanterns we have. We went to my daughter Caryl's house Friday night to watch tv so that was a nice respite. I was able to cut out a quilt from the Meadowsweet fabric I pictured in my last post. I'll get sewing it soon. It's going to be a while before some of our friends get their power back so we are some of the lucky ones. So I'll get things back to normal here and hopefully post some quilt pictures soon.
We lost power on Thursday night as well. It finally came back on at noon today. We spent the weekend at the Holiday Inn in Portsmouth. It was a very wild storm!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you're safe! Rain and winds can be frightening, and not having power can be no fun! Spring, can't wait for you!
ReplyDeleteOH my..that does sound bad. Mother Nature can really be frightful at times. I am glad you got through it with little damage.
ReplyDeleteOur Grandson is currently obsessed by weather! He has books from the Library & he keeps hoping we will have a tornado! We tell him we dont want a tornado, nor do we want a hurricane! He is only 7, but he almost an expert on clouds and weather patterns.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well with you.
Glad to hear you didn't have too many problems. I live in the middle of a city, so we only lost electricity for a couple of hours, but friends who live just south of the city and down to the MA border were out for days. Thought we were going to lose the roof of the house or have the windows blow in. What a wild storm! and a really weird winter here in NH!
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm new to blog-world and have been following your posts for a little while... without even realizing that you are in NH, too! I enjoy your upbeat posts!
ReplyDeleteGood lordy bee friend, this is rather dramatic! Sorry to hear of it. I understand what you are talking about - even appreciating the wood stove having grown up with one. Appreciated that on many occasions.
