And now a belated post, some things really do appear to happen for a reason, and this just might have been one of them.
The Full Beaver Moon of November, gets it's name from the usually allusive, and industious beaver, who can be seen gathering food and working on their lodge as the first heavy frost of the year arrive. The signal that the snows of winter aren't far away.
Those of us who live on the edge of the grid, have been busy making sure we have enough firewood, and the other necessitys to keep us comfy and , should the weather get really wicked..
Where was I? Yesterday the wind began to pick up in the late afternoon, and by the time the sun went down it had gained a little strength, not much speed,. Certainly not enough to cause power outages. The moon had risen above the tree line and was playing tag with the clouds and the spruce tree branches. A beautiful silver disk , i couldn't resist watching it from the upstairs window as it climbed higher in the night sky, I was temped to, so i did watch it until it rose to a point where it was no longer possible to see it from that window.
Not long after that , the power went out. It does that sometimes, we are very used to it.
potatoes are dug
tomato stakes all pulled
wait! the first snowflake
