Yoo-Hoo! Its Sunday selfie time once again.Wow the week does fly by!
We had some noisy (not) fun here past Tuesday evening...when we had quite a violent thunderstorm screeching through here. At least we didn't get blown away. The neighbor's kiddy pool was traveling through the yard all on its own, BOL! Mr B got all wet trying to snag it and put it in his shed...which after the storm was squished by three big trees that fell on it..and those trees also fell on our fence that divides our properties. What a mess. There was a fourth dead tree that also came down in our yard...from his...oh well, the fence is a wee bit bent but still patent and we can't get out...shucks, it would be fun maybe, to have a jaunt around the hood...BOL!
While we were inside waiting for this storm to pass, we heard all kinds of noises, like hail big hail, hitting our house...and while there was just enough light to see out there, petcretary saw that our walnut tree of some 40plus years was not upright but the branches were horizontal! It was amazing that it wasn't blown out of the ground. The 'hail' we heard was a bazillion walnuts being shaken off the tree and tossed around by the strong winds. Its a wonder they didn't break windows! Some are the size of tennis balls...And *she* found a bunch of them on the other side of our house! Wow! No idea what the force of that wind was, but we are thankful our house wasn't damaged, and that this was straight line winds, not a tornado. There were dozens of large branches broken off the tree and not a few limbs...but when we look at it, you'd never know it had endured such windy abuse. So cleaning up just the mess from the walnut tree took several hours and now the walnuts are still strewn all over the grass...more hours of work to pick them all up...the squirrels will love a chance to stock up their larders for the winter ahead...BOL!
You know what?? She did not take any pics of this event! What?? She just wanted it to get cleaned up asap...walking there right now is like trying to walk on ball bearings. Yikes!
The peeps in town fared worse, they lost power for a while and there were a lot of uprooted trees, etc. So we are thankful we are relatively unscathed.
This past Tuesday at the teaser, petcretary was not a firstie...and she wasn't a first right guesser either! Though she did have the correct answer...oh well, another time maybe!
Here we are for this week's selfies:

We saw in the POTP/RB postings that Captain Cuddles left the earth suddenly, to become a handsome new angel. While we didn't know this sweetie, we made a memorial card in his honor, to help give a wee bit of comfort to his family. You can visit him here.

ReplyDeleteThat sure sounds like a super scary storm to live through. We're glad to hear you didn't have too much damage from it. Your selfies are as cute as ever.
ReplyDeleteWe're glad you didn't get any worse damage from that storm. (I can't imagine walnuts being thrown around like that.)
ReplyDeletePawsome selfies! That storm never made it to us thank cod! We already lost one tree…we wouldn’t want to lose anymore.
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a terrible storm. We would have been scared to death. We are glad you are okay.

ReplyDeleteGuys, you had probably 70 mph winds. That was awful and I am glad you escaped with no more than you had happen; and that was terrible. I am so glad you're safe and sound. XX
ReplyDeleteHubby said the official was 69mph. Almost hurricane strength:(
DeleteWow! THat was some windstorm you had! We get heavy winds through here quite often. THis afternoon Alex had to go and retie the weights that keep the shed in the back yard down. We have had quite a bit of wind and the bungees that hold the weights are all stretched out even though we put new ones in, in the springWe are glad that you, your peeps and the house are A-OK! Have fun with your unfur bro!
ReplyDeleteWow ! that sounds scary, didn't you hide under the beds ? I don't like strong wind at all, ever since two of our trees fell across the street years ago and several people died because trees fell on the cars driving through the wood. It was so sudden. I had to laugh, however, when I imagined the travelling kid's pool through the garden, !
ReplyDeleteGuys, you're right! Dogs are great at house trashing..you are already o the invite list! I usually do have a big bash so that when mom comes home...she thinks long and hard about leaving me in the care of a sitter!
ReplyDeleteLulu: "That thunderstorm sounds like no fun, no fun at all! I want to go hide in the hallway bathroom just thinking about it!"
