Snow in the woods

A bit of fresh snow this morning.

It was not to last. Even early, it was getting warm. By midday it was the consistency of mashed potatoes. And it was raining.

Since the weekend, there has been notice of a pending high wind warning for late tonight through tomorrow evening. I can’t recall ever seeing this kind of warning so I’m taking it seriously. Although I’ve rarely lost power at this house, today, I made sure every battery for every gadget is charged up. I filled all water containers AND the motorhome water tank. I baked bread and crackers and tortillas. I did laundry. I have plenty of cooked food that just needs to be warmed up and plenty more that can be cooked – on the woodstove. Bob and Bear’s food supply is plentiful. I hope all of this preparedness guarantees that the power stays on :)!
