Lion or Lamb?

The Last Blast of February!!

Last night we arrived home,

started supper prep before going to the gym

and braced for the coming storm.

The wind whipped up just like predicted

and the hydro flickered and promptly went out!!

We called ahead to the gym to see if they had

hydro and they did - so, we carried on

with our plans, hoping all would be well

by the time we returned home.

Alas, it was pitch dark in the neighbourhood

and we knew that we were in for a dark

and very stormy night!

A candlelight supper of left-overs, warmed on the 

woodstove tasted not too bad.

The planned menu of Salmon and fresh veggies

would have to wait for tomorrow's meal.

The wind howled bending the tall evergreen trees

that surround our farm house.

We were so thankful to have a warm cozy

fire to sit by as we attempted to solve

the latest crossword puzzle, using the only

flashlight that had a good battery.

What IS the 6 letter word for 

Saddle Horn starting with the letters PO???

5 hours later,

we were back on the grid,

just in time for the

11:00 o'clock News.

By morning - our lane was

cleared and off to work we went.

Morning of Feb. 28/13 - The Old Apple Tree

Looks like March is coming in like a Lion!!

I hope so......that means it will

go out like a Lamb - right!?

BTW - the word is "Pommel"...............who knew!
