We spent a few days this week outside cleaning up after the storm we had a week ago. It was one of those quick but furious storms that brought down trees, power lines, loss of power and made big messes of neighborhoods.
There is an old farm 1/4 mile down the road from us and they still had two old, big red barns. Notice I said did....one was flattened by a large oak tree. They just finished carting it away a couple of days ago.
This monster brought down the power lines by us.
We are so thankful that we only had minor damage. We trimmed, racked, and replaced a couple of plants. Had one big butterfly bush that was broken, but that's all. So happy to have everything back to normal.
I see this view every morning from our master bathroom window.
This gazebo is right outside my office window where I'm writing to you right now. I enjoy seeing the flowers trees and God's creation. A constant reminder of who is in control of it all.
I love being able to enjoy our neighbors Crepe Myrtle trees. So happy they planted them on our side. lol
These little fellows enjoy them, as well. We have several bird feeders right below the trees. Hubby caught three Doves on our bench, all at the same time, which is a rarity.
Ah, look, a fourth one just joined them. I think they're having a family reunion. lol
A few of our tomatoes took a bit of a beating but they still taste great!
What's been happening in your neck of the woods?
