in #seewhatisee6 years ago

The Lights are Flicking On and Off Like Crazy!

#ChickenBitchez hiding under the deck from the storm.

I am hurriedly putting this post together before we lose power. The winds have been extremely fierce all day and now with the heavy wet snow, it'll be no time until old trees and branches start coming down, and we all know what happens after that...

Got some water bottles ready, our water runs off of an electric pump so when the power goes out...we got no water.

Got the bathtub filled so we have water to flush our toilet with. Living in the boonies has its drawbacks haha, but I wouldn't trade this for city life, not a chance!

Got the buns made for the next couple of days.

All in all it can be kind of pretty.

Looks like a tasty storm blowing in Lyndsay.
Take care of you and yours, hopefully it won’t last too long and you won’t lose services.
Got my fingers crossed for ya babe. ❤️

even though the weather is very cold there must always be warmth under the roof of your house.

may the happiness always be on your family side .. :)

@lyndsaybowes, Be careful with snow storm. I saw video & it seems heavy winds.
Also seems chicken family being safe. Giving some attractive looks but you all suffering. Finally I tell you again be safe.

Thanks for watching the video haha :) Much Love always @madushanka! We are having a great time, the power is still on xoxo We will certainly stay safe no matter what :) I Appreciate your concern!

Love that colourful water supply, love those buns, love those chickens, and I really love that fog.

Is it snowing again? It appears a beautiful sight though.
The buns, they look inviting as always. And please keep safe. I know you are safe ma. Tonnes of love to you too.

I've been out all morning removing as much of the first wave of snow as possible while the next wave comes down! Nova Scotia needs to stop sending your snow to New Brunswick - we've got enough already (lol). Hope you are warm and power is restored where you are!!

I'm sorry about all the snow, you guys do have it pretty bad there in NB!! We lost internet for 24 hours, but no big deal because the power was on, and I prefer that any day!! xoxo Hope your spring comes SOOON!!

So glad you didn't lose power! I was wondering about you because I didn't see you post. Seems like the snow is still coming but I'm sure mother nature is going to change moods soon!

When you mentioned power outage I thought you were talking about the impending electromagnetic storm .. that probably won't come to anything lol But you may get some nice northern lights .. if the storm clears!

Ah you've got the snow back as well!! It looks beautiful .. I'm hoping we may have a bit this weekend and i so I'll try and grab some more pictures :) I love how you've alays got emergency buns to hand .. brilliant!

Oooh I can't wait for more of your awesome shots!!! Yeah electromagnetic fearporn storm haha! One day it may be for realz...c'mon killshot! I'm ready to live in the woods!!

Living in the boonies has its drawbacks haha, but I wouldn't trade this for city life, not a chance!

Me too. But work forces me to. City life is a lot of crap and very toxic.
I am happy you are prepared for the storms.
Wow! It is a beautiful storm.

Aw, Edith...I so hope you can get out of the city one day onto a beautiful homestead in the open country...you deserve it Beautiful Soul!! xoxo

Thank you so much sis, you give me strength.

Stay safe and warm you guys! ❤❤

Haha. James Bond doesn't care. Even if it snows or rains, he just wants to shake it off and walk around nonchalantly.

Stay safe and cozy, it looks like you have it covered. Also, eat one of those delicious looking buns for me!

Yes it is an admitted fact that every life style has some dark sides too but in your case you guys are literally so blessed with the wonderful season. I pray to God for your protection in every walk of life my great friend Lyndsay :)

Uemm the weather looked horrible, chicken also looked scared, be careful @lyndsaybowes <3 ^_^

Oooohhh those buns! <3 Stay safe homies....thinking about you all. Lousy Smarch weather!! <3 <3

Hopefully the storms pass quickly and #chickenbitchez is not scared

Winter's last big horrah. 😎

Hahaha I'm sure there will be a couple more if I remember Nova Scotia's March at all :) How are you faring in your neck of the woods? Snow or rain? Winds bad too?

Snowing here at the moment. Just finished siding work on the house on Monday, luckily 😎

hopefully things get better and @lyndsaybowes safely always with Mr. family pendock. warm greetings from me who are far here for you lyndsay.

Warm greetings for you too @musliwadi. Have a lovely day today and soak up the beautiful sunshine.

Well, that’s too bad your weather is still bad.

It’s finally getting better here in Edmonton!

Wow...visible pavement? You're going places kiddo!!

Yes, my son and I are finally able to go for some walks outside now!

Wow, that looks intense. It's crazy how much we depend on having power. We sure notice it when we don't have it though! Keep those little hens warm.

They are all snuggled in for the night now, their body heat keeps them plenty warm with over 30 of them in there <3 <3 xo It is crazy how fragile the grids are, I can't wait until we are totally off grid one day!

Oh! No! Lindsay, stay safe. It again ...it's unpleasant. let's hope this doesn't last too long.

We are getting winter very late this year, the power is still flickering on and off, yet we're still on for now!! xoxoxo We got candles and dice games, it's always an adventure to lose electricity <3 <3 <3 Hugs, Madlen, thanks so much for reading!

Looks like you are prepped up pretty good 👍🏻👍🏻 The people in the city freak out when their power is out for an hour or two, but country folks, they know how to handle it and rough it for a bit. I would much rather fix outages out of town than in town. People in town get pretty grumpy in a short period of time. The out of town, country people are so much more kind and thankful for the hard work a Lineman does to get their power on.

Stay safe, I hope you don’t lose power!!

You're right it is very laid back out here, I truly love it <3 And bless the Lineman workers!! They have to deal with all the worst crap....

Looks like quite a storm!! Tons of good vibes and love back at chya'll!! Hope you have lotsa candles and games, and that it's passed without harm before too long!! Peace 🐓🐣🐔

Aw, we're still hanging on haha!! Thanks for the chicky emojis!!

Hold your hat!! Mommamia!

hi friends, the storm is not fun. hope you can through this snow storm with cheerful.semoga you and healthy family always, my prayer accompany you @lyndsaybowes
greetings from me @pengenkaya

This cock feels so cold. the chicken should wear a jacket.

a very beautiful story

Best wishes for you on this day.
Love

I'd be hiding out from a storm like that too. I can't blame the chickens. Who doesn't like to be warm and dry?

At least James Bond seems to be taking it well..

Here in VT, we've gotten some pretty steady snow, but no wind yet. I just heard the wind will hit tomorrow though :/ not looking forward to it.

I'm so thankful we don't have an electric pump, because we lose power somewhat often. Hope all goes well for y'all!

Ooh, @winstonalden and @donnadavisart, sending that storm north, so mean! ;)
I hope y'all stay safe and warm and dry! 💜
Chicken bitcheeeeeeez! 🐔🐓🐣🐤🐥

I LOVE how you talk to the chickens!! I find myself talking like that to every animal I meet...and of course babies :)

And 'chicken bitches' haha classic!

I grew up on a farm in the boonies and have such fond memories of power outages, camping indoors and no school for days:) My mother tells a much different tale :)

Good luck!! ...oh, and the buns look delicious!

Amazing photography mam... :)
