I think we're on the 4th day of no power. Lost 3 incubators of eggs... and the living room has assorted bins of various ages of chicks. It's not the best situation. No water, no fridge. Hubby has an inverter and is powering the freezer. A neighbor loaned us her small generator, so the birds have a bit of light. The woodstove has been burning pretty much constantly. So at least we are warm, although kind of smelly. Lol.

Not good Cap! I hope things get better soon.
The longest we ever went without power was a week. Thank goodness we had 2 generators so we could keep the fridge and freezer running and cook. I was pregnant with my first boy. I showered in town at my moms so I didn’t stink going to work.

I've only been to the door, but Bob is walking very slow when he goes out. There are multiple layers of yucky stuff .

Ooo, tell him to be careful!!

Oh my, that’s not at all good Cap. So happy to know you’re warm at least! Stay safe

Oh no Cap! So sorry to hear about your vehicles and power. Hoping you get your lights back on soon. Glad you guys are ok!

Oh my goodness. I can't believe the bad storms you guys are having over there.

It was nice to not be feeding little cockatiels every few hours. Nice while it lasted. I had a baby hatch yesterday in the aviary and this morning it was yelling its head off and hadn't been fed. So it is now inside with one of the older babies as a cuddle buddy. I left the oldest out there as I'm hoping it's nice enough to keep as it's split to a mutation I want to bring out.



Exciting news - my DH has finally found a job. Its a place just down the road who make blood products from cattle blood. The guy wants to expand his business and the job DH applied for he was way over qualified for, but the owner is willing to take him on and train him up and once they get their 'clean room' up and running DH will be in charge of that. That's where they'll be able to filter out bacteria to make a more valuable product.

Sorry Jae, had to laugh about "nice while it lasted" Congrats on a new little one!

And big congrats on your DH's new job! That's great it's close to your home and he won't have to go far.

Thank you Mad! I know exactly what you're saying! We really miss her and it's sad to realize we will never see her again!

Oh my goodness that's terrible! Those trees caused a lot of damage. The weather is so crazy over there!
Good thing you've got a nice neighbor to help a little. Keeping you in my thoughts!

Congratulations on the babies! They're so oddly adorable and congratulations on DH's new job! finding jobs has been a hit/miss for people these days
