Friday 13th again!!

Could today be a continuation of Friday 13th? Dark cloudy day! Cold enough to wear gloves for walking.

I decided this would be a good morning to make oatmeal muffins. Got them in the oven and about half way through baking, the hydro went off. Will the oven be hot enough to continue baking them? Perhaps it will only be off a few minutes.

What do I do now? I can't check email or facebook on the PC. The power is off. Oh, yeah, the laptop is fully charged. I can check them there!! Oh, but, there is no internet connection.

Power comes back on and the muffins turn out well. Had a good breakfast and my helper was clearing the table when he spilled a pitcher of cream. What a mess! Nothing to do but clean it up.

Then, while sweeping the grass cuttings off the floor, which we had tracked in because some people do not clear them from the sidewalk, I see ants crawling. Time to get the ant traps out.

Well, at least we are not having to evacuate because of wild fires or floods. Life is GOOD!!
