I hope lightening doesn't strike twice...

This is a photo Jenny posted on Facebook about our power outage/lightening storm.  This storm was a doozy. Biggest in 22 years. It hit some lines in Anacortes and knocked out the power in the entire county.   That was the same night we made freezer strawberry jam by lantern light since our berries needed to be processed. We had  to make a non cooked version since we were powerless. Very pioneer of us and it turned out just fine. 


That same storm sent Nugget out of her mind and she ran off and got herself lost... only to turn up the next morning down at our church parking lot headed for the road. Poor baby. She looked like she had rolled in a muddy ditch and had a limp.  The very next night we had another storm of lesser intensity. She was medicated on Benadryl and Advil and in the fenced back yard.  She is 16 and as you often hear said " Getting Old Isn't For Sissies".  We have since gotten her on a new dog food that helps her with her aches and pains and she seems all better. 


As Summer presses on in the islands we are busy crabbing, taking pictures like tourists... which I may post tomorrow or soon.  It is really busy with visitors this year (tourists) and it has me looking forward to the slowing down season to come. Still, it is fun to share our island with newcomers.
Hope your summer is going well.
