RUMBLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

Well, we had a storm come through night before last.  The weather man had been coming on our local tv stations about every 20 minutes warning that a bad thunderstorm was headed our way wth damaging winds.  Okay - that has happened a lot this summer.  Not worried.  About 11:30 p.m. I heard a rumble (thunder?) and the house shuddered.  Ryan yelled "Mom what was THAT?", and Millie went under the bed - typical for her during a thunder storm.  "Oh that's just thunder" I said to Ryan, got Millie out from under the bed and we all went back to sleep.

Wednesday morning I got up, let the dogs out, got dressed, got the dogs back in, woke Ryan up to let him know I was leaving for work, went out, got in the car, looked straight ahead and

THERE IS A HUGE TREE LIMB ACROSS THE BACK OF MY HOUSE!!!!  I couldn't believe it!!!  I got out of the car, walked back and it looks like it is just across my back porch roof - don't think it has done any major damage to the roof (Please God). 

Called my insurance company and I have a $250 deductible.  Whoopee.  Like I HAVE $250 "spare" dollars.  So the guy is supposed to come and let me know how much it is going to cost to remove the darn thing.

I think I have more trees on my lot than anyone else on the street - and they are huge.  I love the shade, but hate when all those leaves fall.

Oh well.  Today is another day.  Hope yours is a good one.
