We Can:

Clean House (using rain water to rinse dishes and stack them.) We can also sweep, dust, put away papers and books, organize drawers and shelves, and generally tidy while there is natural light. Clearing toys, etc. off of the floor is especially important, because the house will be very dark at night with no power for night lights, and no one wants to trip and fall in the dark!

If there is enough light, there is reading, writing letters, and drawing by a window. You soon realize how precious that natural light is!

When the outdoor light is gone, there is story-telling by candlelight.
Our little power outage was a drop in the bucket compared to what has happened in Japan. To donate and have the funds sent to a church there for aid, go here.
