Postponed Due to Weather

 Unfortunately day 91 was delayed due to loss of power from yet another bout of raging winds.  I feel like these types of weather events are getting to be commonplace - this is what?  The third time we've lost power due to wind in the past few months?  I'll be happy when I can afford to buy a generator.  The electrician wired for a portable generator; a model 12,000 watts or larger will keep the mini split, refrigerator, water pump, and a few outlets going.  I originally wanted a whole house automatic generator, but it was just too expensive all around.  

Since we're still working from home and we were dead in the water without power, Mom and I tried to do a little work outside.  I amended my tomato pots with compost which, with the 40+ MPH wind gusts, was a bit of a challenge.  I managed, though!  We had planned to take the rest of the frost blankets and tarps off the beds and pots but it was just too windy to handle them.  It's supposed to be a fairly warm week, so I'll get to it soon.  Despite the cold and wind, it was still nice to be in the garden.

Power was back by late afternoon, so the following day became day 91.  My cabinets are up!

 

 He still needs to put up the crown molding and kickplates, and I need to buy knobs and pulls.  I also have settle on a hood vent.  It's a weird space, because it's on an angle, and I do want a chimney style vent.  I'll also have to pick out the butcher block for the countertops; who knew there were so many styles?  It's crazy!  I'm itching to get working on my kitchen island, too, but right now the contractor is set up in the garage so he can cut molding.  I'll have to busy myself with yard chores, I guess.
