Snow, part IX
While I was out running, then jogging, Nathalie and the kids had about 6 hours without electricity, and thus also without heat (gas heater, but electric ignition system). Nathalie went out twice today to shake the snow off the fruit trees. We had two trees with fairly thick broken branches.
The children went crazy, too. Emma decided for example to make mud pies on her night table with chocolate and water. Diane attacked a cake, scooping handfuls out and stuffing herself. Cannot recall now what Tim was doing, but he wouldn't let his sister take a nap.
They're pretty much back to normal now, and the electricity and heating came back before I arrived. What a day.
