October 2011 Snow Storm

Another fine weekend in New England!! Never thought we would lose power for 60 plus hours from an ice/snow storm in October. It was a crazy storm that only dropped about three inches but it was a wet, icy, slushy storm with all the leaves still on the trees. That all put together made for a treacherous night on Saturday night/ Sunday morning. Down trees and power lines EVERYWHERE in my town of Franklin, Massachusetts and also the surrounding towns. We just got power back a couple of hours ago from losing it at 1:45 am Sunday morning.



We made the best of it with our generator and fireplaces. Angus still loved playing and eating the snow during the day, and helping me cut up some down trees or at least he thought he was helping me when I would drag the tree branches to the back yard and he would just want to play and try to rip them out of my hands. He seemed to be sleeping a bit more than usual at night probably because of the darkness of the house and it being so cold too.

Angus sleeping and me gazing into the fire.

Tuckered!!


Our town was wise to cancel Halloween until this coming Friday, that is how bad the roads were and how many people did not have power. So the cleanup will commence again tomorrow to have the house ready for the trick-or-treaters.  Not sure if Kelly will be dressing up Angus this year, but that's ok, he can help just handing out candy. The kids get a kick out of Angus and he gets a kick out of them. Bring on the candy!!
