Last night the power went out just as I was starting to cook supper. Thankfully the chores were all done and all the goats and kids were tucked in for the night. We did worry about the new goat kids because no power means no heat lamp. The power was off for 3 hours and they were fine. I was very thankful that the weather was in the low 30s and not sub-zero like it has been for so much of this month.
I finished cooking supper, thankfully we have a gas stove. We ate supper by candle light and just put the dirty dishes in the sink to deal with later. After supper we all sat around the living room listening to Richard recite a story. He went on for probably 10 minutes - he has such a great memory and can "do" voices and accents very well. After that we had a spelling bee. Just as we were beginning to wind down, the power came back on.
It was a lovely family evening.
