What a weekend! Saturday morning I got up early to do my laundry. I threw a load in the washer, and then filled the sink to do a second load. I had only rinsed one sock when the electricity went out. Without electricity, there is no way to pump the water up from the well. This happens occassionally and it comes back on before too long. But this time it didn't.
All day. No electricity. No water. In the afternoon, the older boys tied an old sheet to a bucket and started lowering that into the well so that they could clean up before church. I took by own bucket down for water to do the same. Half an hour before we left, the electricity came back on! I didn't get to finish my laundry until after the church service.
Sunday morning I woke up, confident that my clothes would be dry after spending the night out on the line. Then I looked out the window to discover it was raining!! Luckily I hadn't washed all of my church clothes, so I was okay for the morning. It rained all day, though, so my clothes are still wet. I am bringing them inside tonight, hoping to have something dry for tomorrow!
