Yellow Bird at My Cottage | Goldfinch

 
A beautiful goldfinch paid me a visit this morning at the cottage. I woke up at 6:45 to a power outage for no reason. When I called it in on my cell they said a substation was out and 3,000 other customers were having the same problem. Luckily I have a gas stove, matches, and a stovetop coffee maker. Mornings without coffee are not an option. It came back on at 8:45. I would have made a lousy pioneer woman.

I have some giant black flexible piping in the garage that I am going to cut and attach to all of my downspouts to keep Irene's rain away from the house. I have a million other things to do too.

Stay safe.

I'm glad you're prepared. Stay safe! Being from tornado alley I know what it's like to try to prepare for the unknown! Beautiful Goldfinch on your birdbath!

Rosemary,

LOL! Missing coffee each morning is not an option at this house either.

I hope you are safe and sound and don't experience anything worse than some rain. My thoughts are with you and your fellow citizens.
