Day 206: Stormy Weather

We had a huge storm come out of nowhere last night. Tons of wind, rain, thunder and lightening. Wouldn't you know we had just lit the grill when it started. We watched the huge trees in the backyard sway back and forth all afternoon. We later noticed one had snapped right in half. Hope our neighbors behind us are ok!

What we didn't know until it was all over was that our pretty tree in the front yard split in half! Those branches gave such pretty shade and I will truly miss them. Although Mark is super excited to finally get to use his chainsaw.






Reading the reports there were lots of road closings last night due to trees in the road. Thank you Mr. weatherman for giving us NO warning! Another chance of storms tonight....

I will say that I felt extremely safe in our house and even moreso in the basement. The 3rd floor dinky apartment I was living in always felt like it was about to blow right off in a storm and I hated not having a safe place to go to when the weather got bad. Not a problem anymore :)
