Remember our annual 4th of July squirrel bbq?
It happened again this year, a little prematurely, as it's not quite Independence Day yet.
We were sitting in the living room, playing a board game, when suddenly we heard,
"BANG!"
and the power instantly went out.
We all ran outside to look at the transformer on our utility pole and saw this:
We looked at the base of the pole and saw this:
We called the after hours utility emergency number (since it was after 8:00 p.m.) and asked the nice gentleman if he would please send someone to restore our power. There are only 3 houses served by this particular pole, and the other 2 are currently vacant rentals. Thus, we are the only ones who care about blown transformers on our pole.
Meanwhile, our budding biologist daughter was examining the electrocuted squirrel close up.
She was not one bit squeamish and felt empowered when her older sister expressed dire disgust over the deceased rodent.

I'm truly happy to see Erin with the squirrel. I like having biologist relatives!! Gabe's had a blast with his lizard stick - no lizards yet, but trying. Do they hibernate in the winter? Even if it's not cold? Because I've only seen one in the last few weeks.
