Today I tried to cheer my inner child by looking for my favorite bug and making a rhubarb umbrella... But the joy only lasted briefly.. The closer I get back to real adult life the more the blues and thoughts of all that troubles me are returning...
I could stay in that garden of my childhood forever. Calm and Peaceful under the lilac trees.

Wind breaking trees, tennis ball sized hail and rain turning many streets into rivers. Beautiful Wednesday in the city.

A road I drove to get home last night, as the storm was starting. Photo taken earlier today (not by me).

What made things as bad as they are is that it started as rain, then changed to snow, so everything clung to the trees, branches, etc., weighing them down to the breaking point.

Quite wild that it took for spring to arrive for New Hampshire to actually have a major statewide winter storm.

Some parts of the state had 18" (45 cm) fall.

My part had a bit of snow, then a change to sleet, freezing rain, then rain. And parts like here have a ton of power outages, with trees falling left and right.

My power lasted most of the day, but has been out for a couple of hours now - more than 60% of the town is without power at the moment.

I've got a 100 Ah LiFePo battery running a 2500W inverter to keep the heat going overnight.
I'm hoping it doesn't stay out long enough to need the generator - no power here means no water, and this inverter isn't going to run the well pump!

The weather is on crack, yo!

Plant trees they said... and now it's not okay ???

Nothing feels better than getting out of the bath and feeling so much better than you did the past few days. It is Finally feeling like krampus around here now We got both of the trees all decorated. So fuckin pretty, The big tree actually has different settings which I'll show you later. My mommy's birthday is on the 12th so we will also be celebrating that very soon. #merrychristmas #ourtrees #christmasdecorations #merrykrampus

We got the little tree for the kitchen all ready for decorating now we have to finish the big tree in the living room. PS ignore my gross doorknob The paint is coming off everywhere lol. I hope everyone has their trees up and ready to go and that everyone is getting into the spirit of krampus. I also have a little one set up in our bedroom with a couple presents wrapped already but not many. Happy December y'all. #ourtreeisup #holidayspirit #decor
