That brings a chuckle to me.
I am the cook in the household. We both tried at the beginning  of our marriage and I was better at it. So it was a task I willingly assumed.
My wife did make the mimosas pictured above.  Smile

OK, a little healthier today: scrambled eggs and a muffin with strawberry preserves.

Okay, that's it PhilNH5 and churchilllafemme! Angry  If you two don't stop showing these photos then I'm going to be at your doorsteps expecting to be fed!  My breakfast consisted of one hard boiled egg sprinkled with salt and pepper.  I did enjoy it until I saw your photos and then, for some reason, it seemed so inadequate. Confused Tongue

Decorator snow.  How nice, we have another name for it  Dodgy  Don't get me wrong, I love snow and it can make things quite beautiful but we had our first snowfall in early September and its just getting a little tiresome now.

Maybe it was the snowstorm Phil got that was so calm and peaceful by him, but we got hammered by it. It was wet, heavy, and sticky and if I remember correctly 12". We were on generator and solar backup power for 42 hours. Every few hours (3-4x/day) I'd go out start the generator and charge the batteries (24v 1000ah), then we'd run off of them for a few hours. No such luck that we'd get sun and take care of the juice with that; all overcast so all gas burning to get juice. But the system still works. I need to get new batteries this year though. They're getting old and they're on their last legs.

A few days after power was restored I went out to fill gas cans and noticed all of the trees that had been knocked down. I was supposed to get a package delivered. No wonder UPS couldn't make the delivery.

It was a very pretty storm, but I could have done without it.

That heavy, wet snow can be murder on the trees.  When we get those early storms and there are still leaves on the trees its awful because it usually starts as rain/wet snow that creates some droplets/texture on the leaves then it freezes and the additional snow sticks really well to the branches and leaves that have been "texturized" then the weight becomes too much and down they come.  I've even seen it happen with power transmission lines/towers and I mean the big ones.  The ice and snow builds up on the wires and takes down a tower and then the additional strain on the neighbouring towers takes them down too and so on.  What a mess.  Nature can flex its muscles occasionally and at least around here, when it does so in the shoulder seasons it can be particularly nasty.  Give me a gentle snowfall or peaceful rain any day
