Another Hour Without Power

Here we go again. The last time the power had gone out, we had experienced a considerable amount of rainfall and wind and lost power for almost 24 hours. You can read all about that here. This time it was around 6 pm when we lost power and we had experienced a really lovely day here in Maine without any weather issues. We asked each other, what now and how long is it going to be out this time? I had plenty of work to do and without electricity, that wasn’t going to happen. The sun was still shining and I figured I could grab my camera and take a few photographs around the yard. I also had to plant seeds, but I thought I would take advantage of the fading daylight first with my camera. We put in a new garden in the front of the house last year with a nice slate rock path. In order to control the weeds, I would like to cover the path with Creeping Thyme. I wanted to start growing the seeds inside and then I can make sure they don’t magically disappear. I don’t want to have to compete with the weeds and outdoor critters such as the slugs eating my plants. This way I will be able to check the progress of growth indoors. Luckily, the power came back on at 7 pm and on a positive note, I was able to take a few photographs and get a head start on the front garden.
