Today started out just like any other day typically does.... EXCEPT it was windier than normal ... I watched the news for a short time earlier just to see what the weather was going to be and of course it said HOT .... Humid ... and wind gusts up to 65 MPH!!! Ok no biggie pretty use to that as I live in the middle of NOWHERE and wind is nothing new here!!!! I went out to get my prescription filled and BONUS they ended up giving me 5 insulin pens instead of 4 --charged me for ONLY 4.. sooo even better!!! Took my boys to the park to play for a bit as it had cooled down just a tad and they have some added energy to run off.. The sun felt sooo wonderful... kicked off my shoes and ran through the fresh cut grass--- had a blast.... On the way home my 8 yr old says " Mom I bet that tree in the front yard lost more branches".. I laughed cause lately it seems that tree is shedding branches left and right.... Now here comes the best part : I turn down my road and can see my house-- I see what looks like a few branches and laugh - my son was right-- as I get closer I said HOLY FUCK as I saw this :
Ok no biggie tree falls right !!! Fucking shit no that tree is at least 150 years old-- that fucking thing is HUGE as you can see from this angle :
A whole half of a tree!!! Ok so no biggie just some guys come over with some chainsaws-- and a few beers later got some awesome firewood!!! NO BIGGIE!!!! Well up under that lovely green mess there is : 5 bikes , A Tony Stewart battery powered riding car, a dirt bike and 3 skateboards.. Now typically I make my kids pick their shit up before we leave but it was a fast run to town and wanted to do it before the rain hit..... I just laughed cause what are the odds that this would happen... I mean C'mon... The kids are fine, I am fine, and the house is fine -- just a mess to clean up ...... Ok so everyone is in the house watching a quick cartoon as I am calling ppl to get over here with chainsaws and shit like that.. NOT even 5 mins after coming in I hear a LOUD crash -- go look and literally INCHES from my front door the second tree gave way --- WTF!!!!!!! If you look close you can see the black hand rail from my front porch among that lovely fucking mess that mother nature caused...
So I am hoping that the Tony Stewart car made it out of this just fine as my 6yr old would be one pissed off little shit!! lol... And BTW it is still fucking windy as shit out there so stay tuned there maybe more pics!!! lol.... I bet you can guess what I am doing tomorrow ....
