Dark & Stormy

I haven’t posted in few days because on Sunday morning we were hit with the now infamous Hurricane Irene. Although she has been labeled a disappointing slacker in some circles, she was no joke in our section of New Jersey: We lost power on Sunday 4am and it has yet to return. No hot water. No wifi. No fridge. No joke. As we enter into Day 3 of being off the grid, I thought I’d share a little visual diary of our last few days. The experience has been interesting. At its charming best it’s Little House on the Prairie without the calico and fiddle playing. At it’s worst it’s cold showers, feral children, and growing piles of laundry.

Above is an image from yesterday when we finally realized the fridge was no longer keeping anything cool
