The VOICES we are hearing in the tiny market down in the town, and in churches and on TV are still announcing that there are present outages in our area.
Our street and all those right around us and on up the mountainside are still without power for the 8th day in a row. When we talk to strangers we find everyone has a story, and yet the VOICES are cheerful as is the custom for this time of year. We are still operating on a small generator and we have some internet service from the satillite connection. That puts us in the category of very lucky as many people are still spending their days and nights in our middle school shleter.
So here for your winter enjoyment are scenes of the season...at least up here in the Monadnock Mts. of NH.
The ice is now melted away, and we expect 10 " of snow to top of the small snowfall earlier this week.
People exist with woodstoves, fireplaces, generator, and that typical New England attitude. It seems like they can handle anything with a smile and an ability to rise to any occasion. We have only been here five winters, so we are novice to the challenges, but we are learning FAST.....
Be of good Cheer, Christmas is a few days away. Even in the dark, the light of this Holy season will shine.

Ginger,
That post and the images just made my day. I was hoping you'd post about your adventure there. The pics are breathtaking. I can nearly smell the fresh cold air. I wish I was there...even tho I know it's so hard.
The illustration is beautiful. Thanks for making my day. Best to you in wishing for the electricity to come back on SOON! I'm so glad for your generator and internet connection.
Oh Ginger I have been through silver thaws. They are truly breathtaking to see, but man can they ruin tress and structures, and leave the animals so hungry. You are an amazing person Ginger! You have such a wonderful spirit. I will kept you, your family and those around you in my prayers!
Hugs
Sherry
