Well, just when I thought things were getting back to normal we had 5 days of storms, flood warnings, flash flood warnings and severe thunderstorms and tornado watches. I don't mind as I don't worry about flooding where I am and we never lost power and I didn't have to go to the basement. But when I woke up Saturday morning there was no heat and I checked the basement and the sump pump had stopped working and the basement was flooded along with my HVAC! Ouch! Of course, no one is open until Monday and tonight it's supposed to get down to freezing and there are frost advisories. It's been in the 50's but now it's in the 40's and getting colder. I've been having fires in the fireplace and it keeps the dampness and the chill off but not if we go down to freezing. Woe is me! I called the plumber and was able to leave a message so hopefully they will get it first thing Monday morning. I tried to pick up things in the basement but everything was floating around and I realized that until the water left it was a futile attempt. There is a drain but it rained all day yesterday and buckets of it! If they come and fix or replace the sump pump, I still have to get the furnace people in to fix that but by that time it will be in the 70's! Yep, just cold when I have no heat but once I do it will be 70's next week.
Meanwhile, I did take a photo of my crochet blanket I've been working on in the evenings.....
Still having power I am able to get things done but keeping a wood fire going takes a lot of my time.
I'm hoping to sew this afternoon...that was my plan yesterday until I realized my predicament! LOL!
Happy Trails!!!

I sure hope they get to you first thing tomorrow. It really is always something to deal with. Love your crochet! Hope you get to something enjoyable today! Hugs!
oh my, you need a water sensor you can get them at a hardware store! Hope it warms up and you get all the proper guys to come in and fix stuff!
So sorry that happened. We had inches less rain than you but some have problem yards on my street. I was keeping an eye on road flooding since they know what the peak is when it starts backing up into basements. Fortunately when we bought our house as dumb teenagers, we bought the one on the top of the road.
I am so sorry that your basement flooded and the heat went out. You are strong. I don't think I could have handled it. I hope you are getting the needed repairs soon. The crochet project is pretty. And speaking of pretty, that meme is hilarious.
Oh my. I do hope you are able to get everything taken care of quickly. I have been thinking of you as I watch the nees each evening. Thebstorm damage in your state is horrible. So many trees falling on houses. Glad you still have a roof over your head.
