Over the weekend, since we had electricity, some spices were dried. What you see is the top rack of Basil and underneath we have the rest. We have a dryer that uses electricity. Also, four loaves of bread and four of zucchini bread were made.

MiL just realized that she likes the sun to her back when hanging clothing. We chose the side for the clothing line because we have a strait shot to our basement to the tree. Easy to load things from the driveway to the basement and bring clothing up from the washer. It was an accident that the line happens to be on the west side of the building. Therefore we have learned a lesson to put the clothing line on the west side of the building with a strait shot to the basement.

We are also being more diligent in disconnecting unnecessary lines of power. Clocks were disconnected from the power grid and as always the computers are off and disconnected from the power source. Even when you have a disconnected inverter there is still some power going through the phone charger so that also is a good thing to only connect up when you have to power a battery device. Now if only I could figure out where the google house power reporter is... google has a widget that directly monitors power usage from the house. I do not know if this is active on the east coast but it is worth investigating. That is it for now!
