Busy Today With Ice Storm Stuff

I was dreaming this morning and while I don't remember what I was dreaming about, into the dream someone came and spoke to me saying, "The power is out." It woke me up and I found the power was out. I got up and found my son-n-law getting ready to get the generator out. So first thing this morning was getting the house and the well powered up.

Once that was done the next priority was the animals .. chickens and dogs .. making sure they have plenty of food and water. The ramp into the chicken coop was icy and the chickens came skating out, some on their backs, some squawking. I put some sand on the ramp so they can get up and down easier.

The ice storm warning has been extended until tomorrow. We heard there are over 150,000 people without power. Ours came back on in a couple hours but has flickered and gone off for a few minutes a couple times so we are keeping everything on standby. The trees are bowed down with ice and we have heard limbs breaking but so far not on any of our trees.
