Exploration in the Dark

About three weeks ago now, Hurricane Arthur paid a visit, and took out our lights.  With trees.  The upstairs part of the house got a healthy dose of sunlight in the day, but the basement was another story.  The perfect setting to do an exploration; particularly where the freezer was concerned.  I had to identify which were supper items, and which were not.  It was a frosty experience, and most of what was on the top layer was easy to identify.  English muffins, ice cream, and packaged meat.  It was more difficult to tell wether the meat was ground beef or chicken.
Bedtime was also fairly interesting, after the candles had been put out.  I got into a habit of laying my pjs in a particular way so I could remember exactly which piece was which in the dark.  Nine days later, the power came back.
