Fallen Trees

 

We had a 24 hour power outage over the weekend. During the storm, on Saturday night, a tree was blown over and managed to take a branch off another tree, take down the power lines and the fence. We thought they would have fixed it over night, but they didn't start until about 8 30 the next morning. The power finally came back on at 3 30. Our new solar system worked well, so we were very pleased with it. We lent Janice and Jim our generator for their freezer. (They are the people whose property we camp on).

The tree it damaged
They aren't the prettiest trees in the world, so I suppose it is no real surprise that it fell over in the wind.







Well I wasn't going to go to work, but a friend asked me if I would like some part time work at the local garden centre. The boss is going away and they are a bit short staffed. I said I would, but I might only be there until September, but that was ok. I am going to started on Wednesday. It is only casual and I am not going back until next Wednesday. Every bit counts towards filling the hole in the bank account.
