2023 Winter storm

2023 Winter storm

We were blessed that we did not have a winter storm in 2022. Plants were able to have some much needed recovery from the big freeze of 2021. But 2023 gave us another opportunity for growth. This time it was ice, not snow. Lost power for three days. We feel so grateful that we have a fireplace. We made coffee and cooked using our camping equipment. We drained our plumbing lines so no busted pipes. 2021 taught us a lot. lol

It was also a very humbling experience. As we pulled out every blanket we owned and even bundled up our pets, we thought of those in Ukraine and other areas that are dealing with much colder weather…while at the same time dealing with war and food scarcity. Praying for all those in need.

Now with some perspective in check, here are some pics of the storm and the damage. As the ice began to melt, you could hear tree branches creaking and snapping as they broke off the trees.

Frozen cilantro and lettuce that I probably should have covered

Grateful and Blessed.
