Spring Storms

Usually when a Kansan talks of spring storms they are talking about tornadoes but this time we had a snow storm instead. It started sleeting and freezing rain with a little snow on Friday, the 27th then continued to sleet and snow all day Saturday. Around 2 am on Saturday our electricity went out. Dennis sleeps with a CPAP so when the electricity goes out in the night he wakes up quickly which wakes me up. The wonderful juice of life did not come back until after 6 pm that day. With well water the pump doesn't work when the electricity goes off so we were without water all day too which is just really annoying. I was very glad I had a number of gallons of water in the safe room for this type of situation. We also had a two burner propane stove so coffee was made which is extremely important for everyone around me staying alive. I did get a ton of crocheting done. Started an afghan last Wednesday and it will probably be done by this weekend. We all sat in the basement by the fireplace with the blind open so light would shine in and did hobbies. I crocheted, Laura did weaving and Dennis cleaned his guns. :)By Sunday afternoon most of the snow was gone but they said on the weather that we may have more snow tomorrow night. I WANT SPRING!
