Today’s to-do list includes calling for service on the main refrigerator, the main furnace and the washer. Service won’t help the other appliances busted by the surge of power that blew through circuit boards like the howling wind blew through the big old trees. They’re simply shot and must be replaced. But on a brighter note, my old wine bottle-turned-dish soap dispenser glowed like a jewel this morning — perhaps a priceless blue sapphire? It sits on the sill just right of the busted coffee pot, and the sight of it’s enough to brighten any busted day!
Such beautiful shades of blue - sorry to hear about all the surge damage - I was nervous about my computer/tablets during the weekend storms, but never considered harm to other appliances - hope you get everything serviced/purchased soon.
How wonderful that you can still find and share your pleasure in the simple yet beautiful things at a time when you have so many distractions. Sorry that all that happened and I hope the replacement and repairing goes smoothly.
Helen's first sentence sums it up so well, Janet. Do hope all this trials move smoothly. Would never dream something like that could happen on a scale that large.
@mittens@linnypinny@jaffacake@milaniet@novab@helenhall Thank you all for your thoughtful comments. I always appreciate your support of my project. The windstorm that caused the power surge was really something. Quite scary, actually. It will take a while to get the repairs and replacements done; but with all the big old trees around here bending this way and that, we were lucky things things didn’t end up even worse.
