These are some more snapshots of ice covered trees and plants in our yard. The ice is a beautiful, but unwelcome guest, causing misery all over our state. Thousands are still without power, including members of our family. Hubbie's daughter and son-in-law, his sister, his son, and his grandson and family, who live two and three hours east of us, are all without power.
Daughter at least has gas heat in her basement apartment, so her home is now haven to several family members, as well as neighbors.
Many folks in our community are also without power. We are among the lucky ones who suffered a power outage for only a little over three hours yesterday. We were also fortunate to be able to stay in our camper during the power outage.
Today, Mother chose to stay home. I spent time at my office computer, submitting the story and photo of the novelist to the regional newspaper editor, uploading ice storm snapshots and sending them to a photo center to be printed, and answering e-mails. I also called our beauty shop to make appointments for Mother and me next Tuesday. I wondered if the shop would be open, since the roadways were icy today.
Later, for supper, Hubbie grilled a large t-bone steak, which was enough for us to share. I sauteed onions and mushrooms to smother the steak. Baked potatoes, salad, and glasses of red wine completed the meal.
