Lo's World

This is the little electric dolly that is supplementing our household electric. I asked the one guy what it is, is it a transformer or something? He said, Ah doan know how it werks, but it does. He was a little dutchy.

As you can see, we've had snow. The electric co. can't work in the snow. At least not when they are digging holes and playing in trenches. Or so it seems. This saga began last Friday and they were here Mon, Tues, and Wed. But not Thurs. The snow was melting.

Today is Friday and they came back and filled in the trench by the house. That one is fixed now I'm told. And a landscaping group will come out and restore the yard to its original condition. What if I don't want it in its original condition? What if I want the stone circles moved to more appropriate places? Like where we actually walk instead of where D's dad thought he would walk? What if I don't want grass sown there? What if I want flowers there now? I hope I'm home when they come so I can supervise. Or just tell them to go away.

Of course, we've had more interesting water episodes. In the middle of the afternoon I heard water running. In the bathroom. But I can't see any water running in the bathroom or anywhere else. Yes, I checked in the basement and there were no gushing springs or waterfalls there either. So, hubby came home and inspected all the water faucets and spigots and tanks and couldn't find anything but could hear it in the basement. Finally, he went outside and found the outdoor water spigot was pouring water. He thinks maybe with all the recent freezing and thawing it must have worked itself open. Kids have not been playing over here recently due to the trench diggers and trenches. And of course it is very cold here, too. And windy. The white cats (my lumina cats) sit on the front porch as close to the front door as possible. That makes me wonder: is the front door leaking heat?
