Been a long 12 days without power/heat/water for thousands in Connecticut from the affects of Nor'easter ALFRED, a freak October snow storm. Luckily we were not among them, the shoreline was somewhat spared (only 5" of heavy wet snow for us). With the news reports of Finally Finished from the power companies I had to journal a bit. As I left work I noticed the Full Beaver Moon hanging in the wet lavender twilight - through the power lines. We do love our Electricity.

I like this--very evocative and atmospheric :)
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine 12 days w/out power! Horrors!
ReplyDeleteWeird weather Sandy, it seems to be all over. We've had a terrible heat wave early in our summer here in South Africa and NO rain yet. And 12 days without electricity is just so horrific! Glad you weren't hit so hard. Lovely sketch!
ReplyDeleteFantastic to hear they have the power back on! Your sketch is awesome and you have beautiful handwriting!
ReplyDeleteHooray for electricity! I love this post...
ReplyDeleteI especially like how you laid out this page....
ReplyDeleteAnd I am sure that you are enjoying your evenings too - 12 days on my. My step son was out for ten. I hope you have a mild winter this year.
ReplyDeleteThis entry is a good reminder not to take stuff for granted. Love the details in the ugly electric wires/post.
