The animals got their evening feed early. I’ve got my big pile of power cords, courtesy the derecho of 2012, sitting handy. Generator’s on the back porch. Everything’s charging that needs charged. Oil lamps, candles, and flashlights are out. Non-electric phone plugged in. Everybody’s got shelter and hay and full buckets of water. And dinner’s ready in the house.
Time to see what happens…..
Good luck to you, wherever you are!

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia.

they were to help you learn how to prepare for situations like “the perfect storm”. A great feeling to know that you are as prepared as you can be. Everyone down to each animal has had the proper preparations for.
You are an inspiration to us all.

I have friends that live up on a mountain between Napa and Sonoma in CA and all they’ve had for years is one solar panel for everything. When we’d make Thanksgiving dinner it was always on the wood stove and we’d eat by candlelight. So beautiful!
Take good care -
