Clothesline Fail

At least she was able to use it once. I guess that is why they make it removable. Unfortunately, it doesn’t hold up 14 inches of wet spring snow as well as it holds up wet sheets and clothes.

We are running on battery power, so I gotta make this short. What an adventure!

(edited w/ update: 10:12 a.m.) I made it into work at the day-job, where there is heat, running water, and electricity; all things we are still lacking at Wintervale. They tell us there is still no way to estimate how long we will be without power. Oh, joy. We are burning wood in the fireplace, in attempt to hold the temperature of the house up at a livable above-freezing level. One advantage to the cool temps: the food in the refrigerator and freezer may last a bit longer.

When I left the house this morning, I drove through falling snow.

Happy month of May, everyone!
