When the lights go out

Hello Addie, Emmy and Colt, Olive and Zeke, and all of Jenny's kids,

Today as most of the U.S. is gripped in a frozen blanket of winter we are reminded that sometimes the power goes out.  There are no more video games, no TV, no lights.  It becomes very quiet.  This is when our good buddy, Edison shows up.  He illuminates the darkness lighting candles and oil lamps and even flashlights. Edison reminds us to enjoy the quiet. Get out a board game to play with your family.  Put together a puzzle. Build a fort out of blankets. Snuggle.

Edison looks like he's made of wax, but he's just blending in. I love the soft candlelight that surrounds him. His quizzical look and tiny pipe amuse me.
