FiveRoooooers Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 It’s knot yellow But soo pretty! We were without power for 18 hrs. Until I could get out to walk to the general store in town (our Waffle House), cold brew to the rescue! We won’t have access to the yard until Spring but the road across from us is plowed and an excellent spot for sniffsandpees.

Time4ANap Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 We can do without power etc., but don't mess with our ability to make coffee. We have multiple ways to make coffee in this house that don't involve the coffeemaker, just in case. Quote Camp Broodie. The current home of Mark Kay Mark Jack and Gracie Kiowa Safe Joan.

greysmom Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 The reason we invested in a snow shovel was so we could clear a patch down to the ground for potties!!! Not for digging out the cars or clearing the deck!! People also run out and put down a tarp when the snow begins so they can just flip the tarp back and get a snow free patch for their dogs. Not sure I would be into cold coffee on a morning without power!!

MerseyGrey Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 I’m not sure about cold coffee at this time of the year either…but I love your Christmas cup!

Not sure I would be into cold coffee on a morning without power!! Having at least one snow shovel is a requirement for living in the northeast, even CT lol.

FiveRoooooers Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 Vanessa, a snow blower riteawayqwik and our fence in the Spring are the priorities right now.
