I spent the morning hauling wood to the house in preparation for this weekends storm. It is supposedly going to snow very low, possibly to the valley floor. Brrrr!!!! Since the well has gone south, I also filled gallon bottles of water for flushing toilets. We gather the water in 55 gallon drums from rain spilling off the roof. We have been practicing this technique for 30 years, since often times in a storm the electricity will go out. Maybe for 5 days. We do have a generator; however, it needs gasoline and when the lights are out for many hours much gas is needed. Thank the Almighty One this does not happen this time. It is hard to move on the snow laden road that is soooo steep. Going to get the mail and deliver the garbage can to the road below, then I will be ready to take my shower. After that I can fill up the holding tank with the ditch water using our gravity flow system. It takes about 1 hour to do that chore. Praying for the well to return. It has been difficult living for 3 years in a drought. Well I took the Sun Star Queen to the bank. We deposited some checks. On our way back to the farm stopped at a thrift store. The queen found a perfect gold lame outfit by a designer with a label not familiar(first name). Talbot is the last. Maybe Marj or Mary are the first name??? The top is fantastic, zippered down the front with pointed pixie hemline, pants are typical peddal pusher sith turn back cuffs. Whoaaaa!!! Sexy sexy sexy for the late 40's early 50's.
