While the power is out ...

I’m on Day Four with no electricity or water here in rural Rhode Island. We MAY get power back Friday night. All due to a four hour wind storm on Sunday, not a drop of rain fell (or snow for that matter).

In the meantime, I have carved three stamps for a new series to be planted at the new preserve near my Narragansett home, and have started on three more for Jiffy’s 2017 In Memorium event (I cleverly chose three rockers to carve so I could get them back in time for my Letterboxers Egg Hunt in April - the theme this year is Rock and Roll).

I discovered carving outside on the picnic table under normal natural sunlight GREATLY increased my ability to see under extreme magnification (I am legally blind). How’s that for a cloud with a silver lining! Bye bye hot hot hot electric lights!

and I even get to hear the birds chirping as I carve :-)

Hope you get it back soon. I'd go nuts without light for that long.

Heckuva silver lining. Now, of course, with winter approaching, you'll need to build the first ever greenhouse inspired by a need to carve. :)
