May 28, 2011. Artemas, PA. Troubles, Troubles.

 This has never happened to us before.   Everything at the farm looked wonderful.  The fields and the woods were lush with foliage.   But inside the house, not much was working.   No Internet connection via our satellite.  The company will be out on Tuesday to check the dish.  No television, using our new portable satellite dish.  It worked for about fifteen minutes last evening.  Today, Ken moved the dome and brought the cable in through the window, and now we are up and running.  And the water was not running when we arrived.   A quick re-set to the circuit breaker and all was well.

No hot water too.  Thursday evening there was a terrible storm, with another one last evening.  We have two bathrooms without light, plus no hot water at all in the house.  Of course, with a holiday weekend, no electrician will be able to come out for a service call until Tuesday.  But we do have electricity, thus  air conditioning.  Ken reminded me last night when going to bed that our house did not burn down in the bad storm, neither did it blow away.

The storm last evening was fierce.  It was the worst storm I have ever experienced.   Rain and wind and hail, along with thunder and lightning, all so loud that you can not hear anything else.  But we weathered the storm.  And I will shower in the farm house tomorrow.
