Yesterday's Storm

The Storm Yesterday had some high wind gusts... and some moments of downpours that made it difficult to see the other end of the yard... there were tornado watches up for our county and most of the counties around us...

Last year our yard got rocked with a freak snowstorm in October...

this year we only lost one branch, but it was a rather large one and right across our driveway...

We were VERY lucky it was a work day and Steve had his car at work... the branch landed right where we park his car. The branch was perfect sized... it took up the entire length of the driveway but missed hitting the garage by inches. There was no real damage just inconvenience...

I was thankful my car was in the garage to keep it safe.. it wasn't till afterwords I realized that I was not going to be able to move the branch with out help... and once Steve got home I realized WE would not be able to move the branch with out help... making it impossible to get my car out of the garage... GURRRR!

My Dad came up with a chainsaw and a truck to help us cut up the wood and remove some of the smaller branches...

I guess we will have some wood for a bon-fire for the fair next week...
