Today's Reflection ★ January 26, 2014

Five years ago on this very day, we experienced an Arkansas ice storm to be remembered. It was the first time we had problems with the well, (pressure switch froze). The beginning of a very long 12 days, (for us, some experienced a week longer), without power and ultimately with now water other then what we could bring home in containers, ... once we were able to make it into town.

So with the Polar Vortex, (sounds so much more dramatic and terrible when called something other then a cold spell or cold snap or any other such name ... the Media, such dramatists) and having already had problems with the last two Polar Vortexex, I decided I needed to give that switch and its surrounding pumping, a much bigger blanket. Hopefully this will keep things flowing well (pun intended).

Also on this very date, our little miss random, Poppy's little Ice Princess was born and what a random, blessed experience that has been. The ice melted, most of the damaged vegetation (trees, shrubs, etc.), have been made into firewood and life would be back to normal.  Except ... we have our sweet Renee and as random as she can be we love her very much.
