Colton and I spent a lot of time outside. Since we were out of power for 13 days, I kept busy trying to keep the ice broken in the stock tanks and water buckets. Colton enjoyed knocking icicles off of everything as well as making his bike skid across the frozen ground. I really don't mind the pioneer life other than lack of hot showers. Since we are on a well, we had to stay at my mother's house that is serviced by rural water. At least we had water and a fireplace there. We heated water at the wood stove and cooked outside on a camp stove. We were blessed when our neighbor down the road regained power and brought their generator over for us to use. They are so precious. The only casualty we had was Colton's fish, Herby, that did not make it through the cold. Herby had a nice funeral and is buried under a shade tree (what's left of it). Colton let me know the other day that he was ready for Jesus to send Herby back. He is so sweet.
