Yesterday was hot (90+ degrees) and sticky. One of those days where I had to put ware boards of freshly thrown pots outside to dry. Late in the afternoon a storm rolled in with some high winds. Jeff and I scurried around the yard, bringing pots in, and securing anything we thought might fly away. When we were finished and safe inside the house we heard a "pop" and the lights went out. We sat on the sofa for a few a minutes thinking it would come right back on. When it didn't Jeff said, "Time for beer before they get warm!"
We sat on the porch and watched the storm dance around us... after the wind it really didn't amount to much, except for bringing in some nice cool air. At 9:00 pm, and still without power, we retreated inside with our "emergency lighting".
Jeff hit on this idea the last time we lost power! Bring in the solar landscape lighting, using pots for holders. Safer than candles and they give off a good amount of light when you bring a bunch of them in.
The power finally came back at around 1:00 am. We awoke to cool dry air, and pots that are ready to be trimmed...
Time to go to work.
