A blustery day!

We had a crazy storm last week and to quote Winnie the Pooh, it was a "blustery day!" We had some rain, but not a lot and then the wind moved in. We were looking out our front window, watching little branches fall down.  Thankfully, they were small.  Some people, quite close to us were not so lucky.
Here's a few photos from the next day.










These are branches from our yard - not huge, but still over 8 feet long!





This is my sisters house, right around the corner from us. They also had their grill blow right across the deck and a cabinet on the lower level blow over.






This is just down the street from our house.
















Someone's mailbox is under that debris.









Another one that's around the corner from our house.




The same tree from another angle.








See the sign out front?  It says "Don't stop praying".  It was out there before the storm and is always true!






Bob picked up 5 wagons of debris from our yard and this is the pile he was making to chip it all up.
We're thankful to have had just this little mess to deal with and just a short time without power.

Good heavens, that was a doozy! A little scary but I'm always up for a spot of dramatic weather. Power out, though, is a big buzzkill. Now as for us, we had mid-July weather at the beginning of April and are having mid-November weather here in the beginning of May. On Saturday it was rainy and the temperatures did not reach 60 degrees! Such an anomaly and I greatly enjoyed it. I'm so thankful that y'all had no serious damage and yes ... don't stop praying! xoxo 🏴‍☠️

Dear Mari, what an experience. Bless your heart. Don't stop praying is something we all need to remember.
I am very grateful it wasn't worse. Losing power is never good, either.
