The power came back on after awhile–it had been out all over town and beyond town to the warning lights at the next road up (outside town) so it was pretty easy to tell when it came back on.\u00a0\u00a0 According to our power maintenance company (responsible for the powerlines, not any production) we had several outages on Friday and Saturday–they send emails–but they claimed a repair two hours after we knew we had no line power.\u00a0 However, all’s well that ends well, and we had heat through the night, a luxury I really appreciate now that I’m older.<\/p>\n
The new panels on the house roof aren’t connected to the system yet, so they aren’t producing anything (that’s supposed to happen Tuesday) but the barn panels are probably contributing by now.\u00a0\u00a0 Last year when the line power was out for almost a full week, and we had inches of snow topped with a layer of ice, it all had to melt before the sunlight could get to the panels.\u00a0 It’s going to freeze again tonight, but it’ll be a dry freeze.\u00a0 All the icicles are gone from the gutters.\u00a0 The winter grasses and forbs are showing green this morning, though it’s not green coverage–the fields are still in shades of beige and brown.\u00a0 The sky’s a clear blue.\u00a0 Birds are singing like crazy.<\/p>\n
Horses met me with “About time!” whinnies (though they had fat haynets overnight) and are munching and grunching their morning hay.\u00a0 It’s a little warmer, though tonight will be colder than last night.\u00a0 I may be back on here later with updates of this and that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
