April 3, 2010 - POWER FAILURE!!!

Yesterday morning the wind was howling! We heard a few loud bangs and then the power was out! It's 11:00 am next day and power has still not been restored. Seems all of Sooke is out as well! Thank goodness we have our generator. Eric worked very hard to install it when we first bought the house and this is the first time we have needed to use it for more than an hour! It is a beautiful thing! Able to make dinner, shower, watch tv, blog on the computer! Just sitting watching the ducks and one goose on our neighbors lawn. Very disturbing about the goose, there were two of them last week and now for the last two days I have only seen the one. I'm worried what has happened to the other!? Sick? Dead? Very sad!
