We've got the Power!

While at Bad Dog University the power went out at the farm, for about 2 hours! It was a beautiful, partly cloudy day.

When we got home we changed the clocks to the proper time, reset the light timers. He got the bright idea to address the pasture light issues. The day-light sensor seems to be kaput.

After a trip to the BigOrangeBox to get needed fixtures he tried to install the new lamp. The old lamp was re-installed from our old house; we've had that lamp for years. He chose a white light, instead of the amber glow. It will take some getting used to, really.

On Saturday night we got another thunderstorm, this time the electricity went out for over two hours. We also got about an inch of rain. Keep hearing about the water deficit, but we are regularly getting rain and the beans and corn look great. So does our store-bought Orchard grass.

He also replaced the light switch in the shed. It has been out of order since a severe thunder storm some time ago that also took out our TV that was on my desk. Having no light in there hasn't been a problem, but it will eventually be needed. Nice to have the light back!
