it was a bit windy here on sunday. the kids had just gone down for a nap, and i was in the kitchen gazing out the windows mesmerized by the action the wind was creating. i was debating in my head whether to wake the kids and move them to the basement. it was that windy. within moments i heard a tree start to crackle and i watched our mammoth of a tree in our front yard topple over (luckily away from our house) and crash into our neighbor's yard, taking with it our utility poles and wires. really, doesn't sound like much but i had never heard and seen a very tall tree do this before. it was a little creepy. almost 300k houses in louisville were without power. some restored the next day, us not until last night. i could complain about this, but really it wasn't bad at all. aside from not having refrigeration for our food, we went on with life as usual. and how could i complain when you think about others less fortunate in texas. kai surely loved discovering all the things you can do with flashlights and having tea by candle light.
so, this weekend andy has decided to get all ranger rick on us and chop this tree. i have some grand plans for some of the tree trunks and limbs. we were planning to go camping this weekend, but that will have to wait until next week.
enjoy the weekend! j
