stay safe folks...

we will be keeping the poultry in the house during the storm
i am going to bring in the temporary pen and set them up in the basement..... one pair of girls in each and the drakes in the other two rooms

i wish we had storm shutters for some of the windows in the studio but we don't
so we do have some plywood and tarps just in case
i hope all you folks in the storms path stay safe

there are two big things i worry about for us
our trees
and being without electric to run the freezers and the well pump

we are so getting a generator after this- bernie's been giving me a million reasons why we can't do it
but i have decided that a contractors portable generator is the way to go and we will be doing that soon
and some trees are coming down as well.......(coniferous trees, not my beloved sugar maples)
i know that if bernie had to go one day without a shower after work he'd be right there for the generator.......so we're going to do the generator
thanks to susan's J , i have a good idea what i am looking for...
but i do think that the portable ones run either on gas or diesel not heating oil.
( i so wish we'd put in solar for the well pump)

we have food........(oh boy do we have food)

i think we'll be ok for the most part, i do need poultry feed and cat food
i'll try and get that today

well folks see you on the flip side
