Big Storm in August

That was the view from my deck on a sunny summer morning. Wow.

Tree crew adds its own drama.

Readers, the tree stump is still in the ground, waiting for the final crew to come by and take it out. I hope the stump removal has little or no drama.

In the meantime, two lengthy power outages in the last year have made us a little more aware of what we need in terms of an emergency kit. Finding these photos on my phone reminds me: buy batteries. Keep the phone charged. Etc., etc.
