Tree monkeys

 About 2 years ago we had lightening strike one of the  big oaks in our back yard.  I had been hoping it had just gone into shock but it was slowing dying.  Being so big & close to the house we knew we needed to have it taken down but had to get in a tree service that would climb it as they can't get any big equipment into the back yard. 
 Felicity:  "Freda why are we sitting here on the patio?  Is there something entertaining going on today?"
Freda:  " I have no idea but I'm not sure I'm going to like it!"
 Felicity:  "Oh my look how high up he is!  I can't look!"
 Freda:  "Keep your knickers on Felicity!  I think they know what they're doing"







 Felicity:  " Timber!  Oh no it's going right for the shed.....oops it's not supposed to be sticking out of the roof like that is it?"
 Yup.  They managed to drop a branch on the shed roof but will be back tomorrow to fix it.  Also when they dropped the main part of the trunk they broke the perimeter wire to our invisible dog fence.  As long as Molly is wearing her collar she doesn't even think about going across the "line"   Good thing as it will be a while before that cut up so we can repair it.

BTW  The pics were all taken by Popster as I was at work when all this happened.  That's why there's no shot of the tree sticking out of the roof:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BIG BROTHER

Happy birthday to my big brother Terry...........have a wonderful day!

Yowsa!

 I was woken up around 3:30am yesterday by thunder as a line of severe storms were rolling through the area.  My alarm goes off at 4:00am so I figured I'd just get up.  I was standing in the kitchen waiting for the coffee pot when there was a blinding explosion in the back yard along with a huge clap of thunder.  It was like someone threw a bomb in the yard....needless to say it scared the crap out of me & I was waiting for a tree to fall.  We didn't see anything & I left the house at 7:00am while it was still raining.  Popster didn't see this until last night but it had struck this big oak that is about 15 feet from our sun room.  It just stripped that piece of bark right off the tree  Makes the expression "Don't mess with Mother Nature" become very real!

Forever Family Day

Oh my.....where does the time go!  Ten years ago this scared & tiny little girl was brought into a room full of strangers. She was so confused by the strange faces. Now look at the beautful, confident girl she has grown into. We love you LiLi💖 Love
