Lemonaide

It is frustrating to look outside after the hard storm of last evening. Everything was cleaned up and raked on Friday and then the big catch basin filled up with leaves and debris and the small one did too. The mess is depressing. I was on the phone calling the road supervisors when the township truck and two men pulled up to survey the mess and clean out the basins. They didn't do any raking. Schools are closed and I imaging there are many other sites to attend to and maybe they are even worse.  We had power loss for about 4 hours but the generator kicked in just fine.

To help myself feel better I pulled out the peaches that I froze last August and proceeded to make us a peach cobbler. 

It was finished just in time to share with the trash pickup man. Of course the Mister had a bite to taste as well.
