So we're sitting on the deck eating our roasted corn on the cob and grilled brats, when all of a sudden the winds started howling. We literally had to scramble and pick up the plates, glasses and food from being blown off the table. Bike man and the Son tried to crank down the table umbrella before the table blew over. At the same time all of this was going on, we heard and saw a big huge crack.......
Right before our eyes, one of our large pine trees along the lakeside hill just snapped in the wind and blew over, hitting the compost tumbler, another tree and part of our small garden shed.
The tree even hit the canoe, cracking it and puncturing a hole in it.
Oh man, I loved our compost tumbler! Totally smash. I'm thinking we'll need to call our insurance company to cover the cost of the compost tumbler, canoe and cost of cutting up the pine tree. Geeze, what a bummer.
Later on we received some minor storms, but nothing severe. Surprisingly, it went from 90 degrees to 70 degrees in a matter of three hours.
Glad you guys are OK, and it was only a canoe and tumbler.
ReplyDeleteWOW! I was enjoying the cool down and your sky was falling. Glad all is well with the human folk and that only minor damage was done to the rest. Perhaps your next compost tumbler could be pretty pink and purple?? :)
ReplyDeletewow....no storms down our way at all.....and YES, call that insurance company !!
