Wild And Windy!

 The double W week of wild and windy started on Monday with a trip to my dentist to check on a tooth that had cracked.  Then back on Tuesday for him to see if a fix was possible.  Nope. I'm never that lucky! He removed the broken part, sent me to an oral surgeon to remove the rest.  That went down on Friday.  This was a new oral surgeon.  Young, good looking, and it turned out he was also super nice, quick, did a good job and fairly painless. (except for the bill..that part hurt the most!) Plus, he called a few hours later to check on me. I'll give him a good review! In the middle of the week, I painted my dining room.  It wasn't a big job because I just did the upper portion that I though needed refreshing. It's about a shade lighter than the old shade and I'm sure nobody will even notice.  The first person to notice wins a gift card from Amazon!  We'll see if that happens.  The weather was doing the up and down, sunny then rainy dance all week.   But the worst part was the wind. It was super strong and a lot of folks in Ohio lost power.  We were some of those!  My dental appointment on Friday was in the morning and then we had a few hours before the wind knocked down some trees at the end of our road and put us out of commission.  Without power we can't get water from the well to bathe, flush toilets, drink, etc. Oh, and no heat either. We quit burning wood because the temps were too warm.   Of course, on Friday they decided to dip down.  We have 2 fireplaces, but they really don't put out much heat. This isn't our first rodeo on the power front. We probably should have invested in a generator, but we haven't so we do the best we can.  Gallons of water can be used for flushing and drinking and those soapy wipes are good for cleaning ourselves. We were hoping to get the power back quickly, but the whole town of Ashland was out and us country bumpkins are usually last in line.  But the electric company and the tree guys came and worked their butts off to get us up and running and around midnight last night we were good!  The house was a cool 55de and I could have cried when the lights went on along with the furnace.   So hot showers all around and clean dishes too made me feel much better!  So on to next week.  St. Patrick's Day was celebrated in Ashland on Saturday and they dyed the creek green and will do it again on Tuesday.  They held the parade on Saturday because the weather was better.  Tuesday will be only 29de and snowy! Figures!  So have a good week and maybe some corned beef and cabbage will be on the menu!  Here's just a few pics to close me out:

The refreshed upper wall.  Plus some Easter decorations.

Cold temps don't bother these cuties.  The few days of warm helped out too!

I found this bunny at the thrift store, but it was white and pink, so I spray painted it gold. It looks like one of those chocolate bunnies in gold foil!

I found this bunny runner at Hobby Lobby. Ready for the Easter season!

Without a stove I used the grill to make Friday's dinner.  A little breakfast was good!  That's all I have! Over and out!
