A lovely weekend
and THAT my dears, was sarcasm and lots of it!

We had us an ice storm. We were *supposed* to get about 5" of snow, instead we got about 2-3" of freezing rain.

Did verra cool things to the dragon:


Not so lovely things to the trees:


Well, pretty in detail mebbe, if you like broken promises...


Clearing some of the broken branches I managed to pull a couple misc broken, well, ok, logs, that were trapped in the tangle onto my poor and foolish head... the headache wasn't bad, no where *near* migraine level, but the nausea really sucked and, ya know, the bruises are still sore...

We lost power Friday afternoon - we got it back about an hour ago - at least it wasn't *that* cold? LOL - right around freezing for most of the weekend, so a propane heater kept us comfy, (today, of course, is 60ish heh) we had a propane camp stove so we could 'cook' (for some definition of cook at any rate) - and my house is always covered in candles ANYway so that was no big deal - being without the computer was on the painful side though! LOL (as I sit here with over 100 unanswered emails.... **whimper**)

All the ice is melted now, and we're starting to get the broken branches gathered and chopped and burned.... **sigh** - one of the trees isn't going to recover, I just know it's not - the other's will all have to be pruned to balance them back out - is not gonna be a very shady summer!

Ok - next update will be a completed amazon! - WOOT! (she'd be done *now*, but I need working lights to paint!)
