It's very cold and very dark tonight, but it's time to care for the animals.

I go out to the 140 year barn and FLIP ON OUR NEWLY INSTALLED ELECTIRC LIGHTS!.

For the first time in 4 years - no flashlights or lanterns - no extensions cords, including the occasional shock. ;(

Gather the eggs in a jiffy, including the ones one floor - check on the expecting ewes - watch the cats run around.

We have got motion activated floodlights, switched flood lights, upstairs lights and plenty of outlets, for heat lamps and deicers.

I could almost imagine how the old farmers felt, when the REA came through, giving those dark barns light for the first time.

Talk about blessed

It's the simplest things that bring the most joy....

Congrats on all the new lighting....

Oh yes Congratulations on the new lighting! It's amazing to me how little it takes to make a farmer or homesteader happy. (compared to what many people NEED just to make it through the day)

Hi Plowjockey;
That's nice. I can relate, totally. But I dare not go into that now lest I be accused of "hijacking" your thread.
Enjoy the electric lights.
