It has been a disaster around here and as of 5pm this evening, we finally got our power back!!! It went out about yesterday around 1. I was working so we had to sit around just in case it would go back on until 4 before we could decided if we wanted to be closed for the day. Closed. Got to go home early which was bittersweet since we have no power. We made some dinner thanks to our gas stove and then I headed to the pool since I think it was the only thing open in all of Langley. Came home, did some reading the decided it was time for bed, even if it was only 9:00. I went to bed but was woken up at midnight to the sound of our computer starting back up. I looked out the window and it looked like someone lit a firework in our driveway. It happened to be a huge branch sparking and catching on fire that was stuck in the powerlines infront of our house. A little scary. So the power didnt actually go back on and BC Hydro came around 10:30 this morning to fix it. I made the workers some tea which they were very grateful for then they headed off to the next job. I was hoping that I wouldnt have to go in to work at 1, but the power came back on around 12 so I was stuck working anyways. Oh well... now Im home with power and for that I am thankful.

BC Hydro to the rescue
Our "neighbors" lost duck. By neighbors I mean they live across the street and 3 doors up. Friendly duck though, he kept me company while I cleaned all the leaves out of the pond today. I like this picture because he looks like he is trying to pose like the fish statue behind him.
