We had freezing rain last Thursday night. Then we had a flash freeze on Friday morning. It created the beautiful effect of crystal-coated trees and shrubs. Unfortunately it also created traffic havoc and five people died in area fatalaties.There was a tree that still had some leaves hanging on. They were covered in ice and tinkled like little bells when the breeze blew.
We had a welcome visit from some friends on Sunday. It was wonderful to see them, and have an opportunity to get out of the little house for a few hours and visit.
Peter and Gerry have been in the situation we are in before (in temporary accomodations) several times in fact, and understand the situation completely. So Gerry very kindly put together a supper for us of curried beef, with rice, chutney, nan bread, beverages, and even some cake and biscotti for dessert. It was extremely delicious, as we are very appreciative as the little house where we are staying doesn't have an oven, which limits the cooking possibilities. Thank you so much Peter and Gerry!!
