pinetree fell

This has not been the best week of our lives, but I suppose it could have been worse.  When I went to work Wednesday morning the wind was really kicking up a mess.  I had a real hard time getting pictures done at work because of the wind, but I enjoyed my few hours there anyway.

I arrived back home around noon and went inside and was on the phone with my dear sister-in-law when I noticed that a truck was passing our house, but pulled into our driveway.  When I looked out the window to see why he was stopping I was greeted with this sight.  We had three beautiful pine trees just next to our driveway and our dog Houdini loved to use them at times for his stopping place (if you get what I mean?). 

Well, the top half of one of the trees along with the entire middle tree landed across the road.  On their way down they also hooked onto the cable and phone lines.  About the same time further down the road trees had fallen on the power lines, so from Wednesday until 11 a.m. on Friday, the whole neighborhood was without phone, cable and electric power.  I certainly hope we don’t get anymore winds like that any time soon…if ever.  (more to follow another time)
