Nature’s Beauty attacks with harshness again

On Tuesday, April 24, 2007, it snowed again.  Over two feet.  Resulting in the high school closing for two days, me missing a day of work (I am paid by the hour); and power being out at the cabin for two and a half days. We returned to our turn of the century ways (the 1800s century).  Candles came out, we bathed in snow melt and water heated on the woodstove, I returned to work sporting a wet head look.  Yesterday we had running water in the kitchen again in two ways: 1) the power was back on, so the well pump provides water to the faucet, 2) the warm temperatures caused that two feet of snow to melt quickly, seeping in the back wall of the kitchen washing across the tile floor and cascading into the gap between the kitchen wall and the slightly lower main cabin.  Thank God for small favors!  Without the gap the yearly spring run-off would flood the living room!
