A Followup On "Lightning and Fallen Limbs"
As you can see by the picture related to this post, something bad happened to a tree. In case you aren't aware exactly what tree that IS, it's a very large oak tree that is outside the kitchen of our North Carolina home. We were informed yesterday by our friends, the Nolans, that the tree had apparently been struck by lightning in a storm the day before yesterday. The limb bent down and is now resting in Mom's wonderful backyard garden, which she had worked so hard on. Fortunately, the tree is not currently in a position to destroy my bedroom, which happens to be directly across from the oak tree. Rather, if it fell, it would likely fall AWAY from the house, towards the pond. We just thought including this would be an entertaining little variation from the usual posts. We also want to give a big thank-you to the Nolans, for spotting the tree. Stay tuned - there's more to come on our vacation. This is Spencer, signing off.

Oh, my gosh. I knew we had some bad weather in the Triangle, but we got so little of the action in Cary. I'm so glad the tree limb did not fall through the house. Sorry about the garden, Mynn. We have all been praying for rain. Today has been the very worst. Walking outside takes your breath away with the blast of heat even at 11:00 at night. Your pictures are fantastic. Sounds like you had some interesting challenges up and down the mountains. It's good you guys are in the capable hands of a supermom!

Yikes - my hands are wet just reading and looking at those photos!! Glad you are staying put for a few days at least. I finally logged onto Ken's computer so I could post a comment since I can't do it on mine.
ReplyDeleteIt has been extremely hot here this past week. Today we had a wicked storm, but just lots of little limbs down - thankfully nothing like what you have in your backyard!!
We'll talk soon - keep posting - we are all enjoying it. :)
Love, Tante Gail
