So we had a winter storm last night with lots of heavy, wet snow. Neighbors lost power overnight, so this morning I decided that now would be a good time to finally buy that backup generator we have been talking about for the greenhouse. The furnaces are gas, but unless the fans are on, the heat piles up in the ceiling, doing the plants little good.
Literally as I was Googling generators, our power went down (just came back on after 14 hours).
Harbor Freight, here we come! Along with half the city...
Got the very last generator (a lady even tried to buy it off of us in the parking lot as we were putting it our car!!!), and had the greenhouse hooked up lickety split.
Hubby and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner out there in our little seating area, basking in the warmth of the furnace, with a nice glass of wine, the parrots chatting to us and the quail laughing, beneath the only lights in the neighborhood! Quite fun for Valentine's weekend!
Cheers,
Carolyn
